Negotiations between Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli for Victor Osimhen have now reached deadlock, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Ligue 1 champions refused to include Lee Kang-in in the deal.

They are also not willing to trigger the Nigerian's £113 million release clause.

Therefore, PSG who currently has Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani upfront, may opt to rely on the duo for the new season.

Osimhen still has two more years remaining in his deal with Napoli, but is available for sale this summer.

The Serie A giants have made it clear that they intend to keep hold of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is also wanted by PSG, but do not mind letting his teammate leave for the right price.
