Long announced as close to Paris Saint-Germain during the last summer transfer window, Victor Osimhen, 25-year-old Nigerian international striker, ultimately did not join the capital club. Instead, the former Naples player was loaned to Galatasaray, where he had a convincing season. Recently, his name came up in transfer rumors linking him to PSG. However, the latest information brings a serious downside to this possibility.
A persistent but uncertain rumor
The Osimhen file continues to fuel speculation. Several media are reviving the idea of a rapprochement between PSG and the Nigerian center forward. However, according to PSG Inside Actthese rumors may not correspond to the club's priorities. Luis Enrique, PSG coach, would not have shown any particular interest in Osimhen during the last transfer window. There is nothing to suggest that this position has changed since then.
Obstacles to a transfer
Osimhen's contract situation also complicates things. Still under contract with Napoli until 2026, and currently on loan at Galatasaray, a direct transfer seems unlikely. Although his release clause has been revised downwards, from 130 to 75 million euros, PSG could explore other avenues, just as promising and perhaps more accessible.
An uncertain mutual interest
Finally, nothing indicates that Osimhen would be tempted by an arrival at PSG. Between the prudence of Parisian leaders and the personal ambitions of the player, this file remains unclear. For now, PSG supporters will have to wait before seeing their club make a big impact on the attackers market.
