PSG turn down chance to sign Victor Osimhen, Bayern Munich interested

Paris Saint-Germain have declined the opportunity to pursue Victor Osimhen, leaving Bayern Munich as the most prominent suitor for the in-form Nigeria striker, according to Foot Mercato.

Osimhen, 27, has plundered 17 goals in 25 matches for Galatasaray this season, including seven in eight UEFA Champions League outings, prompting speculation over a return to one of Europe’s leading leagues.

Bayern Munich, preparing for a future beyond Harry Kane, have received encouragement from coach Vincent Kompany to pursue the forward, and the Bundesliga club are actively exploring a deal.

In contrast, PSG have balked at the financial package involved. The transfer fee is expected to exceed €150 million, while Osimhen’s wage demands sit at €20 million net per season. Sources indicate that head coach Luis Enrique is also reluctant to green-light such an outlay, effectively ruling out a move to the Parc des Princes.

Manchester United, Atlético Madrid and Juventus have yet to signal interest, leaving Saudi Arabian clubs as the most aggressive pursuers. Osimhen, however, has not prioritised a switch to the Gulf, keeping his focus on a top-five-league destination for now.
