PSG had been monitoring Victor Osimhen for over a year. Nonetheless, this transfer saga appears tobe ending with neither PSG nor Manchester United securing the Nigerian.
According to aprevious report from GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United grew increasingly concerned about PSG’s pursuit. The French clubwas seen as the frontrunner to sign him.
The report stated that PSGwas prepared to trigger Osimhen’s £63 million release clause. Moreover, they were also ready to meet his wage demands. Nonetheless, that never became the case.
Corriere dello Sport recently reported that Osimhen is keen to stay at Galatasaray. The Turkish club has gone all-in to keep him, putting a €16 million per year salary on the table—and the striker has now given his approval.
Now, it’s up to Galatasaray to strike a deal with Napoli, who are holding firm on his €75 million release clause and have no plans to lower the price.
