PSG Ready to Negotiate for Osimhen as Galatasaray Demand €150m
Paris Saint-Germain F.C. has reportedly intensified its pursuit of Victor Osimhen, with the French champions prepared to open negotiations over the €150 million valuation placed on the striker by Galatasaray S.K., Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Galatasaray are said to be standing firm on their asking price, insisting the Nigerian forward will only leave if the full valuation is met. Osimhen remains under contract with the Turkish giants until 2029, placing the club in a strong negotiating position ahead of the summer transfer window.
The renewed interest from PSG is believed to be driven by manager Luis Enrique, who is keen to add a more physical and direct attacking presence to his squad. Uncertainty surrounding the long-term future of Gonçalo Ramos has also reportedly influenced the club’s search for a recognised centre-forward.
According to Diario AS, several European heavyweights are also monitoring Osimhen’s situation, including Real Madrid C.F., FC Barcelona, Arsenal F.C., Liverpool F.C., and Juventus F.C.
FIFA-licensed agent Mithat Halis believes Osimhen would fit perfectly at Real Madrid, especially following the departure of Karim Benzema.
Halis described the Super Eagles striker as a complete forward capable of operating both as a traditional number nine and in deeper attacking roles. He also suggested Osimhen’s movement and work rate would complement players like Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior by allowing them greater freedom in wide areas.
Osimhen has enjoyed a remarkable spell in Turkey, recording 57 goals and 16 assists in 73 appearances for Galatasaray. Despite continued transfer speculation, the 27-year-old has repeatedly spoken about his happiness in Istanbul and the strong bond he shares with the club’s supporters.
