His agent, Roberto Calenda, is said to be finalising his deal with the Parisians, which could be completed in 48 hours.

Earlier reports claim Napoli agreed with Al Ahli on a sumptuous deal, but the former Lille of France striker is unwilling to move to Saudi Arabia.

It was also gathered that English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea could not meet his €120 million release clause.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted on a cash-only transaction after some teams offered a possible player-swap plus cash deal.

Soccernet reports that although the specifics of the agreement between the two clubs remain unclear, PSG are offering an attractive salary of €14 million per year, approximately 24 billion naira annually.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte appears unfazed by the Nigerian striker’s impending departure.

Osimhen retains status as Africa's MVP

Legit.ng earlier reported that Victor Osimhen retained his status as the most valuable African player with a market value of €100 million as he continues to seek a move away from Napoli this summer.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year has overstayed his time at the Italian club. He should have left last summer after helping the Neapolitans to the title.

The Super Eagles forward has a market value of €100mil, a 20 million drop from his peak.
