His agent, Roberto Calenda, is said to be finalising his deal with the Parisians, which could be completed in 48 hours.

Earlier reports claim Napoli agreed with Al Ahli on a sumptuous deal, but the former Lille striker is unwilling to move to Saudi Arabia.

It was also gathered that English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea could not meet his €120 million release clause.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted on a cash-only transaction after some teams offered a possible player-swap plus cash deal.

Soccernet reports that although the specifics of the agreement between the two clubs remain unclear, PSG are offering an attractive salary of €14 million per year, approximately 24 billion naira annually.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte appears unfazed by the Nigerian striker’s impending departure.
