Victor Osimhen Named Among Potential Replacements for Kylian Mbappé at PSG

As Kylian Mbappé (25) edges closer to a departure from Paris Saint-Germain, the club appears to have reluctantly accepted this reality as they gear up for a busy summer in search of a successor for the irreplaceable talent.

One noticeable change this season – following Mbappé’s shift from the left flank to a central striking role – is PSG’s altered recruitment focus, no longer prioritizing a left winger as Mbappé’s successor. Rather, Sports Zone reports that the club has been impressed by Bradley Barcola’s (21) progress on the left wing, forming a potent attacking trio alongside Ousmane Dembélé (26) and Mbappé that they aim to strengthen rather than dismantle with Mbappé’s replacement.

With a potential bidding war looming in the summer for Victor Osimhen, PSG is now directing their striker search towards three primary candidates: Napoli’s Victor Osimhen (25), Internazionale Milan’s Lautaro Martínez (26), and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško (20).

Victor Osimhen stands out as a compelling option, but PSG anticipates a challenging pursuit of the Nigerian international. Following Napoli’s rejection of two bids exceeding €100 million each last summer, interest in Osimhen has surged, intensifying the competition for his signature.

Evidently, Premier League clubs have shown keen interest in Osimhen, especially after his pivotal role in Napoli’s recent scudetto victory. Among these suitors, Chelsea has emerged as a prominent admirer of the former Lille forward, with expectations of an upcoming summer bid from the London side.
