The football world is buzzing with speculation as Kylian Mbappe contemplates leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent at the end of this season. With a tempting offer from Real Madrid on the table for a summer 2024 move, the French star’s decision is eagerly awaited, with ‘Los Blancos’ extending the wait until mid-January.
Aware of the uncertainty surrounding Mbappe, Real Madrid is already strategizing an alternative transfer plan. According to sources from ‘GOAL,’ Carlo Ancelotti’s side is closely monitoring the situation of Victor Osimhen, the prolific striker from Napoli.
Osimhen, 25, played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A success last season, contributing 31 goals and four assists. His current campaign has seen him score eight goals and provide two assists. Real Madrid, however, faces a challenging task in securing Osimhen’s services.
The Nigerian recently committed his future to Napoli by renewing his contract until 2026, and his buyout clause stands at a formidable 130 million euros. Despite the financial hurdle, Real Madrid’s board believes that Osimhen would seamlessly integrate into the current squad and contribute significantly to the club’s future projects.
As the Mbappe saga unfolds, Real Madrid remains proactive in exploring alternatives, with Victor Osimhen emerging as a potential key figure in their strategic plans. The coming weeks promise further developments as the football world awaits Mbappe’s decision and Real Madrid’s potential pursuit of Osimhen.
