PSG Misses Out on Osimhen as Transfer Window Closes in France

The summer transfer window has officially closed in France as of Friday night, leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) unable to bolster their attacking lineup until January. The capital club has now turned its attention away from Victor Osimhen, who has chosen to stay with Napoli this summer. As it stands, the only potential avenue for the Nigerian forward to leave Serie A appears to be a move to Saudi Arabia.

PSG’s transfer challenges

With the transfer window now shut, PSG finds itself in a challenging position, having failed to secure a new forward to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé. The club aimed to bring in a left winger, as previously reported by Le10Sport.com, but the possibility of acquiring another striker was also a consideration. Victor Osimhen had been prominently linked with a move to the Rouge-et-Bleu, but ultimately, the 25-year-old attacker has opted to remain at Napoli.

Osimhen’s situation at Napoli

The closing hours of the transfer window were filled with speculation regarding Osimhen’s future. Rumors of his departure persisted right up until the final moments, yet no European club was able to reach an agreement with Napoli for the talented striker. An internal conflict reportedly arose between the Azzurri and Osimhen, leading to his exclusion from the squad. As it stands, there appears to be only one viable option left for the Nigerian international in the current transfer landscape.

Could Saudi Arabia be the answer?

According to reports from MARCA, Saudi Arabia now represents the only possible exit for Victor Osimhen to leave Napoli. The Saudi transfer window remains open longer, and they may pursue Osimhen if Napoli can stabilize its stance on his future. Following the acquisition of Ivan Toney, Al-Ahli might rekindle interest in Osimhen, contingent on the Serie A club’s willingness to negotiate. The coming days will be crucial to see if Napoli takes any action regarding Osimhen’s potential departure. Stay tuned for updates…
