Transfer Twist: PSG Launch Bold Move To Hijack Osimhen’s Galatasaray Return

This development comes as Napoli, now managed by Antonio Conte, left Osimhen out of their 30-man pre-season squad heading to Dimaro Folgarida — further fueling speculation about his exit.

The 26-year-old Nigerian striker recently wrapped up a sensational loan spell with Galatasaray, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances and re-establishing himself as one of Europe’s deadliest forwards.

Osimhen had earlier submitted a medical report exempting him from Napoli’s pre-season fitness assessments, signaling his desire to make his Galatasaray stay permanent.

However, according to L’Équipe, PSG sporting director Luis Campos — the man who first signed Osimhen to Lille in 2019 — has now entered direct talks with the player, exploring a potential switch to the French capital.

Campos’ involvement threatens to disrupt Galatasaray’s negotiations with Napoli, who have reportedly set a firm €75 million price tag on the forward. His longstanding relationship with Osimhen could tip the scales in PSG’s favour.

Meanwhile, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Thursday that discussions between Napoli and Galatasaray are still ongoing. Posting on , he stated:
“Negotiations between Napoli and Galatasaray for Victor Osimhen are again underway right now. Napoli sent their counter-proposal to Galatasaray, ready to make a decision soon on new conditions. Osimhen keeps waiting.”

Despite PSG’s interest, Galatasaray remain hopeful. Sources say the club is working out a payment structure that satisfies Napoli’s demand — €50 million upfront and the remaining €25 million by 2026. A letter of credit has been offered to secure the full amount, though administrative hurdles could delay a final agreement.
