Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed he rejected a massive €200 million bid from Paris Saint-Germain for star duo Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Speaking in an interview with Corriere della Sera, De Laurentiis confirmed that PSG made the offer before Kvaratskhelia’s eventual move to the Ligue 1 champions in January 2025. Osimhen, meanwhile, joined Turkish side Galatasaray on loan in the summer of 2024.
“PSG had offered over €200 million for the Kvara and Osimhen package,” De Laurentiis said.
He admitted that, in hindsight, he regrets not accepting the deal. However, he emphasized that his decision was influenced by his commitment to newly appointed manager Antonio Conte.
“I had promised Conte I would keep him [Osimhen], and I didn’t feel like going back on my word,” he explained.
De Laurentiis also revealed that the club had planned to use the funds to pursue a move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres.
