Since the departure of Edinson Cavani in 2020, no number 9 has established itself at Paris Saint-Germain, which does not seem to displease Luis Enrique. Faithful to his vision of football, the Parisian coach prefers to play with a false number 9 like Marco Asensio or Lee-Kang In, but his managers do not seem to think the same thing.
We didn't have to wait for the departure of Kylian Mbappé to see the Parisian attack unleash the debates. This is in fact a subject that has been discussed for several years now and while Gonçalo Ramos seemed to be able to become that number 9 that everyone was looking for, his ankle injury at the start of the season restarted the endless soap opera at PSG.
PSG needs a 9?
Because with the absence of the Portuguese, Luis Enrique returned to his first love with a false number 9 at the forefront of the Parisian attack. A tactic which for the moment seems to work Ligue 1 where the PSG is largely the leader, but not really in Champions League with only one victory in four days. And this did not at all escape the leaders, since La Gazzetta dello Sport explains that these difficulties on the European scene could push them to recruit a real striker of international stature.
Osimhen, could be the perfect profile
But who could be the lucky one? The Italian daily recently relaunched the trail leading to Victor Osimhen, on loan from Napoli has Galatasaray at the very end of the last summer transfer window. After a delicate period, with great tensions which pitted him against the Neapolitan leaders, the Nigerian found a smile again in Turkey… where he should not last long! His departure clause would in fact have increased from €120 to €80 million and The Gazette ensures that the PSG would still be part of the concrete options, with Chelsea.
