French champions Paris Saint-Germain have stepped up their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen amid growing transfer speculation ahead of the summer window.
Reports from Spain indicate that PSG are ready to negotiate Galatasaray’s €150 million valuation for the Super Eagles star, who has become one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe.
The Turkish giants are reportedly unwilling to sell Osimhen unless their full asking price is met.
PSG target Victor Osimhen
PSG are searching for a powerful and direct striker to strengthen their attack under manager Luis Enrique.
The Ligue 1 champions are believed to be considering long-term options due to uncertainty surrounding Gonçalo Ramos’ future at the club.
Spanish outlet Diario AS reported that PSG see Osimhen as an ideal fit because of his physical strength, finishing ability and pressing style.
Several top European clubs are also monitoring the Nigerian striker. These clubs reportedly include Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool and Juventus.
Galatasaray stand firm on €150m valuation
Galatasaray have made it clear that Victor Osimhen will only leave Istanbul if a club agrees to pay €150 million.
The Nigerian international remains under contract with the Turkish club until 2029, giving Galatasaray a strong negotiating position.
The club reportedly considers Osimhen a key figure in its long-term sporting project following his impressive performances since arriving in Turkey.
Osimhen praised for complete attacking qualities
FIFA-licensed agent Mithat Halis described Osimhen as one of the most complete strikers in world football.
According to Halis, the former Napoli star can play as a traditional striker, support attacker or second forward while also contributing defensively.
He explained that Osimhen’s qualities would perfectly suit clubs like Real Madrid, who have lacked a natural centre-forward since Karim Benzema left the club.
Victor Osimhen shines at Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen has enjoyed an outstanding spell with Galatasaray so far.
The Nigerian striker has contributed 57 goals and 16 assists in 73 appearances for the Turkish side.
His pace, aerial ability and aggressive pressing have made him one of Europe’s most valuable forwards.
Despite strong transfer rumours, Osimhen has repeatedly expressed happiness at Galatasaray.
The Super Eagles striker recently described the club as “home” and praised the passionate support he receives from Galatasaray fans.
