Luis Enrique does not really want Victor Osimhen to join his squad. Except that President Nasser al-Khelaïfi does not necessarily share his opinion.

With Kylian Mbappé leaving for Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain is not necessarily looking for a successor to the captain of the French team. However, the long announced unavailability of Gonçalo Ramos suggests that the leaders of the capital club want to strengthen their offensive line.

Inevitably, the trail leading to Victor Osimhen resurfaces. However, the profile of the Nigerian international would hardly interest Luis Enrique. “He is quite satisfied with the squadrevealed Daniel Riolo on the airwaves of RMC: If someone comes to strengthen the squad, it means that Luis Enrique is not the coach he says he is, namely the all-powerful one who decides the squad. Luis Enrique does not want Osimhen, he does not want any particular reinforcement.

Osimhen, a remake of Kolo Muani?

Despite everything, Nasser al-Khelaïfi could decide otherwise and use the same method as for Randal Kolo Muani in the last hours of the 2023 summer transfer window. “With Paris, you always have to be very careful because we remember that last year, at the very end of the transfer window, it wasn’t necessarily the coach and the sporting director who validated Kolo Muani. You always have to be careful.”recalls Gilbert Brisbois’ sidekick.

Florian Plettenberg, German journalist from Sky Sportsconfirms that PSG could try to poach Osimhen on August 30, the closing date of the transfer market in France. However, the trend would then not be towards a pharaonic offer as the Neapolitan president Aurelio De Laurentiis could hope for.
