PSG Face Eight-Team Battle for €12M-per-Year Chelsea, Manchester United Transfer Target | OneFootball

PSG have been keeping tabs on Victor Osimhen since last year, and with the summer transfer window approaching, speculation around his future is picking up steam.

According to GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United are growing concerned as PSG emerge as front-runners to sign the 26-year-old. The French giants are reportedly ready to meet both Osimhen’s wage demands and his £63 million release clause—putting them ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea in the race to land the striker.

This week, Foot Mercato reported that Osimhen has resumed talks with Manchester United, who are still in the market for a No. 9.

The French media outlet notes that talks have recently resumed based on the same conditions discussed weeks ago—namely, a €12 million salary for the player and a €75 million total package, including bonuses, for Napoli, who currently own the striker.

TEAMtalk reported Saturday, citing sources, that Galatasaray are eager to keep Osimhen on a permanent deal. However, they face stiff competition, with seven other European clubs — including three from the Premier League, also showing interest in the Nigeria international.

According to the report, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are the English sides keeping tabs on Osimhen, while Juventus, AC Milan, PSG and Real Madrid are monitoring the situation as well.

TEAMtalk also noted that there is currently no clear favorite, and Osimhen is in no rush to make a decision, something he already demonstrated by rejecting a move to Al Hilal. The Saudi Pro League club had made a serious offer to sign him from Napoli, but he turned it down.
