If PSG’s ‘serious’ interest in Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen would materialise, it might push French forward Kolo Muani out as the striker has been linked with RB Leipzig.
Amid a dip in form, which sees PSG on course for an early exit from the UEFA Champions League, Luis Enrique wants reinforcements in January, according to RMC Sport journalist Daniel Rioli.
Riolo understands that a transfer for Osimhen is being spoken about “seriously” but the French giants will have to test the resolve of Turkish club, Galatasaray, where Osimhen is currently enjoying a loan spell.
He has scored nine goals and five assists in 12 games across all competitions this season.
With Randal Kolo Muani also being pushed towards the exit door at the Parc des Princes, there will be a space to fill in PSG’s forward line as they look to turn around their fortunes in the Champions League and maintain their standing at the top of the table in Ligue 1.
RB Leipzig’s pursuit of a No. 9 is well documented and with Paris Saint-Germain interested in Victor Osimhen (25), this could pave the way for Randal Kolo Muani to relocate to Germany.
The Saxony side are looking to inject speed into their attack with only three of their players (Lois Openda, Benjamin Sesko and David Raum) making the Bundesliga’s top 50 quickest player metric.
The Frenchman has played just 425 minutes across all competitions for Luis Enrique’s side this season, scoring two and creating one.
The Parisian club reportedly tabled a €100m bid last year following the 25-year-old’s heroics in guiding Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
However, Napoli rejected the offer, prompting PSG to consider other options.
Last summer, PSG were again linked with Osimhen as they sought a replacement for Kylian Mbappé, who joined Real Madrid. Still, Napoli’s steep valuation deterred the French giants.
