Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ready to meet Napoli's release clause for Victor Osimhen, who they see as the perfect replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

The Super Eagles star has been on the radar of different top clubs in Europe due to his performance for the Italian Serie A side and the Nigerian national team.

The 25-year-old striker had previously played in the French Ligue 1, which is one of the advantages he has over other players tipped to replace Mbappe at PSG.

According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, per Brila, PSG are ready to pay Napoli's hefty release clause for Osimhen - €130 million - and would not be bothered about the Parthenopeans' demands to make it a one-time deal.

The report also states the Super Eagles striker's current wage of €10mil per season is not a problem for the Parisians.

The Ligue 1 giants are said to be in desperate need of a replacement for Mbappe, who recently communicated his intention to leave the club at the end of his contract this summer.

The France captain seems set to join La Liga giants, Real Madrid, on a free transfer but will still be entitled to a huge amount of money as a signing bonus.

The only major problem PSG could face in having Osimhen as Mbappe's replacement is the Nigerian international's desire to play in the Premier League.

The former Lille striker is keen on a move to the English top flight, with clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea said to be monitoring him.
