PSG Targets Osimhen in January Transfer Bid
PSG Eye January Move for Victor Osimhen Amid Galatasaray’s Stand
Despite Galatasaray’s firm stance on retaining Nigeria international Victor Osimhen until the end of the 2024/25 season, reports suggest Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are preparing a January bid to secure the striker’s services.
PSG’s Pursuit of Osimhen
Osimhen, on a season-long loan from Napoli, has been instrumental in Galatasaray’s impressive campaign, driving their Süper Lig dominance and Europa League contention with stellar performances. His form has reignited PSG’s interest, as the French giants struggle for consistency in the Champions League despite their Ligue 1 unbeaten streak.
Past Interest and Napoli’s Valuation
Last year, PSG reportedly offered €100m for Osimhen following his role in Napoli’s historic Serie A title win, but the bid was rejected. Again, in the summer, Napoli’s steep valuation deterred PSG, who were seeking a replacement for Kylian Mbappé.
PSG’s Struggles and Need for Reinforcement
This season, PSG has faltered in Europe, managing just one win in five Champions League games. French journalist Daniel Riolo reports that manager Luis Enrique views Osimhen as the ideal reinforcement to revive their campaign.
Galatasaray and Osimhen’s Commitment
Galatasaray remains adamant about keeping the 25-year-old until the season’s end, and Osimhen has expressed his commitment to the Istanbul club. However, with PSG’s financial strength, Galatasaray’s resolve may be tested during the January transfer window.
High Stakes in January
The transfer saga promises drama, as PSG prepares to make an irresistible bid. Whether Osimhen’s allegiance to Galatasaray or the allure of Paris prevails remains a key storyline in the upcoming window.
