Paris Saint-Germain is finally launched. Yesterday, we revealed to you that the capital club had relaunched the track leading to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (23 years old). A player already approached last summer. But the residents of the Parc des Princes were unable to complete the deal despite positive contacts with the Georgian’s entourage, highly appreciated by Luis Enrique. It must be said that they had received a stop from Naples, who asked for a minimum of €120 million to let go of a player who was essential in the eyes of new coach Antonio Conte. A few months later, the door is open and at a lower price since the transalpine media mention an amount ranging from €80 to €90 million. But Paris could lower this price by integrating Milan Skriniar into the operation.
But the French champions are also following another path, also already explored in the past and on several occasions. Indeed, Sky Germany reveals this Friday that Paris Saint-Germain is still targeting Victor Osimhen. His name regularly came to the forefront during the last summer transfer window when finding Kylian Mbappé’s replacement. But Luis Enrique had not given his agreement, despite Luis Campos’ desire to recruit him. This winter, the Ile-de-France residents are not necessarily looking to recruit a number 9 according to our information. But Luis Campos is more interested in strengthening himself in this oh-so-important position. Especially since Randal Kolo Muani could well leave.
Osimhen is still in the small papers
Concerning the Osimhen track, Sky Germany assures that it is one of the two favorite options of Parisians with Kvaratskhelia. But again, this file will not be easy. Indeed, the striker from Nigeria is currently on loan to Galatasaray. A club where he is flourishing, having scored 13 goals and provided 4 assists in 16 appearances in all competitions this season. At the end of December, his coach, Okan Buruk, assured to count on him until the end of the 2024-25 financial year. “Of course I would like to receive Osimhen’s transfer fee, but we shouldn’t talk about it all the time. He is also happy here. I think it’s not fair to put pressure on the player in this process. »
He added: “this has an economic dimension and it is not normal for the player to frequently raise such questions. It’s too early. We would like to buy it. Our president and managers say the same thing, but it is important to leave the player’s mind at ease while the season continues. Osimhen wants to be with us until the end of the season.” We therefore thought this file was closed after his statements. But the blowback from PSG restarts this soap opera. Especially since it should be remembered that number 9 has a clause allowing him to leave Galatasaray during the month of January. The Turkish team would be compensated if this scenario were to occur. Naples and Paris are definitely moving forward together this winter.
