Close to joining PSG last summer, Victor Osimhen finally landed at Galatasaray, where he is on loan from Naples. But between the Nigerian striker and Paris, it is not definitively over.
Last summer, Luis Campos dreamed of recruiting Victor Osimhen at Paris Saint-Germain, after bringing him to Lille a few years ago from Charleroi. Discussions lasted almost all summer between the Nigerian striker and the Parisian club and a salary agreement was reached for his arrival in the French capital. Luis Enrique ultimately opposed this transfer, judging Victor Osimhen incompatible with his playing philosophy. But this season, the PSG coach realizes that such an attacker would be of great service to him, particularly in the Champions League. This is how, according to information from Naples Football Livethe Spanish coach of Paris SG could agree to bring in Victor Osimhen next season.
A scenario that suits Naples since in any case, Antonio Conte does not count on the former Lille player. As soon as he returns from his loan to Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen will be sent elsewhere but for Naples, the idea this time is to get rid of him permanently and the Italian leaders have a strange plan for that. According to the Italian media, Naples dreams of a totally unexpected exchange between Victor Osimhen… and Milan Skriniar. Antonio Conte greatly appreciates the profile of the Slovak defender, lacking playing time at PSG, and whose departure is regularly mentioned in Italy but rather towards Juventus Turin.
An Osimhen – Skriniar exchange under study?
With an asset like Osimhen up its sleeve, Napoli hopes to overtake Juve and convince Paris to give up Skriniar. For the reigning French champion, it is a godsend because Luis Enrique no longer counts on the ex-captain of Inter at all. However, it is difficult to imagine Napoli accepting a dry exchange, without additional money from PSG in this deal. But this avenue must be explored for Luis Campos in order to recover a scorer of the caliber of Victor Osimhen at a lower cost next summer. A scenario which should, however, please much less the leaders of Galatasaray, who dream of being able to definitively afford the Nigerian striker at the end of his loan next June.
