Former Chelsea and Inter Milan head coach, Antonio Conte, has revealed he’s unsurprised by the heated transfer talks of Victor Osimhen heading to Paris Saint-Germain, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 2023 African Player of the Year has been linked with a move away from Napoli in recent seasons, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Al Ahli and Paris Saint-Germain interested in the services of the Super Eagles striker.
Victor Osimhen’s agent is in talks with PSG, and as earlier reported by Soccernet.ng, the former LOSC Lille man has set his sights on a return to France, giving the green light to the French Champions, alongside agreeing an annual salary of a fee around 14 million euros.
The key part of the deal remains negotiations between PSG and Napoli with the French giants requesting a discount on Osimhen’s release clause of €130 million.
Napoli’s head coach, Conte, is keen on bringing Romelu Lukaku to Napoli. Quizzed about Osimhen’s potential move to PSG, the Italian revealed he’s not surprised by the recent reports.
“The situation was already very clear. I was aware of it. It’s all going as planned. To me, it’s not a surprise to wait. We face every situation in the right way. As I said, first, we re-aligned, now we evaluate, and then there will be sales and new signings. The vision is very clear. There will be no problems,” the former Chelsea manager said in an interview with Rai Sport.
Napoli and PSG have had a solid relationship in the transfer market, following the success of their transactions. Fabián Ruiz Peña, Edinson Cavani, and Ezequiel Lavezzi all made direct moves from Naples to Paris, a flight Victor Osimhen might be on soon.
