PSG go for Osimhen

Paris Saint-Germain have made Victor Osimhen a priority for next season. But this case looks complex.

Paris Saint-Germain is back on the attack! After trying to recruit a centre-forward last summer, exploring Robert Lewandowski and Gianluca Scamacca in vain, the capital club will once again look for a major No. 9, to relieve an attack that relies exclusively on the Neymar-Messi-Mbappé trio.

PSG’s new priority is named Victor Osimhen, according to RMC. The Nigerian is the player chosen by Luis Campos, who is already working on this file. The former Losc striker has an ideal profile: he is a leading scorer, who is flying over Serie A this season, but also a pure center forward, who can be a threat in depth, while bringing presence in the penalty area.

The problem is that Naples is on its way to the title of Italian champion, and does not want to give up its striker. Or in any case, not at any price. President Aurelio de Laurentiis is often very tough in business, and he should claim at least 100 million euros for a player recruited for nearly 80 million euros in Lille in 2020. Luis Campos would already imagine solutions to reduce the bill , integrating elements like Mauro Icardi or Leandro Paredes into the operation.

The other obstacle is the player’s interest in the Premier League. RMC indicates that Osimhen would be seduced by the idea of ​​evolving at PSG, but England would have his priority. Clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool or Chelsea could be looking for a major centre-forward next summer, and there aren’t many profiles as attractive as Osimhen’s…
