Former Napoli sports chief Mauro Meluso has revealed that the club’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis rejected a ‘pharaonic’ offer from Paris Saint-Germain to sell Victor Osimhen last year.
According to Meluso, De Laurentiis rejected PSG’s offer out of too much love for the Nigeria international.
Osimhen has been linked with a move from Napoli before the summer transfer window closes at the end of this week.
The former Lille striker has attracted interest from PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal and Saudi Arabia club, Al Ahli.
“I arrived in mid-July, he was already there; it was a very high offer from one of the best teams in Europe, an indispensable offer rejected by President De Laurentiis, perhaps also due to too much love,” Meluso told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“The team was Paris Saint-Germain, a pharaonic offer was rejected which in my opinion was indispensable. A mistake dictated by too much love, by too much passion from President De Laurentiis. Then when I arrived, there was a start to negotiations for the renewal and today you find yourself with a problem.”
