Head coach of PSG Luis Enrique has stopped any plans the club has in regards to signing Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen at the end of the season, when the summer transfer window opens.
Osimhen has been in red hot form for Galatasaray with 17 goals in 25 games, with seven coming in just eight games in the UEFA Champions League. A form that has caught the attention of the rest of Europe.
The former Napoli forward is now being linked with a move back to one of Europe’s top five leagues. As per a report from Foot Mercato, Bayern Munich are the most interested party. The Bundesliga giants are looking to prepare for life post-Harry Kane, and Vincent Kompany has approved of a move for the Nigeria international.
However, one club he will not join, seemingly, is Paris Saint-Germain. Foot Mercato understands that the reigning European champions have turned down the chance to sign Osimhen. The cost of the transfer, north of €150m, coupled with the striker’s high wage demands (€20m net per season) and Luis Enrique’s reticence to sanction such a move, means that the Parc des Princes is not a realistic destination.
