PSG's ambitious bid for Victor Osimhen
As the summer transfer window of 2024 progresses, PSG appears focused on strengthening their squad, particularly by adding a winger to bolster their left flank. However, the club may also consider signing a central striker, despite having Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani already on their roster.
Initially, it seemed that PSG would rely on competition between Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos for the number 9 position in the 2024/2025 season. Yet, recent developments suggest that the club is not entirely ruling out the possibility of acquiring another top striker.

PSG's ambitious bid for Victor Osimhen
The latest rumors indicate that PSG is still interested in Victor Osimhen. The potential arrival of the Nigerian forward could trigger a chain reaction in the transfer market.
With Alvaro Morata’s recent move from Atletico Madrid to AC Milan, the Colchoneros might look to replace the Spanish striker with... Randal Kolo Muani. This potential shift would open up a spot in Luis Enrique's squad, which could be filled by Victor Osimhen, who is still seeking an exit from Napoli. To complete this transfer chain, Napoli would likely bring in Romelu Lukaku, reuniting him with Antonio Conte.
This speculative transfer carousel has not been well received by Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda. He expressed frustration over the constant rumors and speculation, likening them to treating his client as merely a "package to be delivered quickly." Calenda emphasized that Osimhen is a top scorer for Napoli and deserves respect, dismissing the rumors as "fake news."
PSG’s plans could undergo significant changes. While the club's primary focus might be on acquiring a new winger, the possibility of adding another central striker like Victor Osimhen could shake up their attacking options. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining how these potential moves unfold and how they will impact the overall squad for the upcoming season.
