PSG Faces Challenges in Pursuing Victor Osimhen After Mbappé

The departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid has created a significant gap in the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) locker room. This summer, PSG’s management has been on the lookout for a suitable replacement, with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen frequently mentioned as a potential target. However, after the transfer window closed in major European leagues, Osimhen was ultimately loaned to Galatasaray. There are whispers that a specific clause in his contract could complicate PSG’s pursuit of the 25-year-old in the future.

PSG’s Interest in Osimhen Persists

Despite his loan status, Victor Osimhen’s future remains uncertain. There is a possibility that he could terminate his loan with Galatasaray if a prominent club expresses interest this winter. Additionally, he might leave Napoli next summer upon returning from Turkey. This opens the door for PSG to rekindle their interest in the talented forward.

Napoli Holds the Upper Hand in Negotiations

According to reports from TeamTALK, Napoli has strategically included a secret clause in Osimhen’s new contract. This clause would allow the club to extend the striker’s contract until 2027 if he isn’t sold next summer, thereby preserving his market value. Consequently, PSG may find themselves in a challenging position when negotiating a price that is lower than the €75 million Napoli is reportedly seeking. The situation remains dynamic and warrants close attention.
