Victor Osimhen, the 25-year-old striker under contract to Napoli until 2026, was rumored to be close to Paris Saint-Germain during the summer mercato, but the deal was never finalized. Instead, the Nigerian international went on loan to Galatasaray at the last minute. He is taking advantage of this to shine again, and PSG are said to be interested in him this winter. According to RMC Sport, a contact has even been made.
“PSG would prefer a loan deal with an option to buy.
“Victor Osimhen has been contacted by PSG. He is aware of the club’s interest and is not insensitive, even though he feels at home in Turkey, where he has been particularly well received.
But the Osimhen-PSG deal remains complex. Firstly, it is not certain that Luis Enrique, who was already reluctant last summer, will approve the striker’s arrival. Secondly, because of Victor Osimhen’s contractual situation.
While it is rumoured that an exit clause has been set at 75 million euros by the Italian club, PSG would prefer a loan deal with an option to buy. ”
A big announcement from the sports media, but ultimately a lot of vagueness. Osimhen may be an active lead… but he may end up being a target that doesn’t really exist (if coach Luis Enrique doesn’t want him). It’s hard to see things clearly, then, since rumors are always accompanied by a degree of caution.
Perhaps PSG are inquiring about Osimhen, an interesting striker. But it also looks like the media have decided that a player of this profile is needed, making the Nigerian almost the only possibility. However, his adaptation to Luis Enrique’s game is not a given, the price is still high and the situation (with the loan) is far from simple.
We’ll have to wait and see if anything materializes. There are plenty of possibilities at the moment.
