PSG consider late swoop for Osimhen

Legit.ng earlier reported that PSG are set to re-enter negotiations for the Nigerian striker, with a new offer expected to be in the range of €50-60 million.

The decision now lies with Napoli, having also received a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli, detailed to be in the region of €60-70mil.

However, despite Saudi Arabia's interest, Osimhen, through his agent, Roberto Calenda, has publicly rejected a move to the Middle Eastern nation.
