Victor Osimhen's a wanted man! PSG want to pry Napoli loanee away from Galatasaray in January - but they face a transfer fight

Osimhen has been a standout performer for Galatasaray since his arrival, amassing an impressive record of 10 goals and 5 assists in 14 appearances across all competitions. PSG’s earlier interest in Osimhen during the summer failed to materialise, but recent performances may have convinced them to reconsider their pursuit.

According to RMC Sport, PSG have made contact with the forward for a potential transfer in January. However, any deal is expected to face significant hurdles. One of them might be PSG head coach Luis Enrique himself, who was hesitant about signing Osimhen during the summer. Additionally, to finalise a transfer, PSG would need to navigate a three-way negotiation involving Napoli, Galatasaray, and the player himself. Such an arrangement could be difficult to orchestrate in the limited time available during the January transfer window.

Chelsea's past interest in Osimhen adds another layer of intrigue, as the London club could potentially reignite their pursuit if PSG faces difficulties in securing the forward’s signature.

Amid the swirling transfer rumours, Osimhen has publicly stated his commitment to staying with Galatasaray until the end of the season. In a recent interview, he clarified his intentions, saying: "I will not leave in January, I am at Galatasaray until the end of the season. I do not know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about afterwards, but if they come to me, we will talk. Galatasaray is a nice club that I like very much. I am very happy at Galatasaray."

With the January transfer window approaching, it remains to be seen whether PSG or any other potential suitors will make an official bid for Osimhen. The Nigerian international’s performances at Galatasaray have undoubtedly heightened his appeal, but his strong declaration to remain in Turkey could deter immediate attempts to pry him away.
