Daniel Riolo, journalist and consultant on RMC, made major revelations concerning PSG's intentions for the winter transfer window. After addressing the crisis in the locker room, he also highlighted several avenues that the Parisian club could explore to strengthen itself in January.
The bomb dropped concerns Victor Osimhenthe Nigerian striker from Naples, currently on loan to Galatasaray. Riolo indicated that Luis Enrique would have revised his judgment on Osimhen, whom he had not wished to recruit this summer. “Luis Enrique wants reinforcement. He realizes that he was wrong, and in particular on a file that he did not want in August and which is evolving today in Turkey”Riolo said. The Nigerian striker has impressed since his arrival at Galatasaray, stringing together some notable performances. Since the start of the season, Osimhen has scored nine goals: six in the Turkish league and three in the Europa League. He also provided five assists in all competitions. This form, combined with the drop in his price compared to last summer, makes his recruitment more realistic for PSG.
Indeed, Aurelio De Laurentiisthe president of Naples, had asked for 220 million euros for a package including Osimhen and his teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but today this amount would be much more affordable. “Obviously, there could be an opening. It’s not done, it’s being discussed quite seriously”added Riolo. If Randal Kolo Muani were to leave, PSG could turn to the Galatasaray striker to strengthen their offensive sector. However, Marco Icardi's injury at Galatasaray could complicate negotiations, as the Turkish club could find themselves in trouble without their star striker.
But that's not all: PSG is also looking to strengthen other sectors of its team. According to the press, Luis Enrique would have expressed his desire to recruit a left winger, a key position to bring more dynamism and creativity to the flanks. The Parisian club would also aim to strengthen its defense, an area where adjustments would be necessary to guarantee more stability, particularly in big matches. On this possible subject, Riolo also revealed that PSG would study two other files concerning players playing in the Premier League. Although the names have not been specified, this suggests that the club could turn to the English market to find reinforcements to fill the depth needs of the squad.
Thus, PSG seems to be preparing for an ambitious winter transfer window, with several serious avenues to strengthen the attack, the defense and the offensive sector on the wings. Victor Osimhen's performances in Türkiye, combined with ongoing negotiations, make him a major target for the Parisians. Discussions should intensify in the coming weeks, and PSG could well succeed in securing valuable reinforcements for the second half of the season.
