Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) transfer chief, Luis Campos has confirmed that the French Ligue 1 club side indeed considered a move for Victor Osimhen before his switch to Galatasaray.
Osimhen left Napoli for Gala last week on-loan for the season. Campos said at the ‘Thinking Football Summit’: “He (Osimhen) was studied as one of the possibilities for PSG.
“However, we concluded that we were very satisfied with Gonçalo Ramos, Kolo Muani and Marco Asensio.” Campos nevertheless denied that an offer had been made to Napoli for the Nigerian striker.
“No, but I understand that I have been linked to Osimhen since I brought him to Lille from Charleroi and because I have known him since he was 16.
“We have an excellent relationship and we respect each other a lot. It’s the market, we all talk to everyone. If all the players that were linked to us had arrived, we would have five stars per position.”
Osimhen, meanwhile, attended his very first training session as a Galatasaray player and he has been reunited with his friend and former Napoli teammate, Dries Mertens.
The Nigerian striker secured a last-minute loan move to Galatasaray after the close of the Serie A transfer window but he went on international duty for his country.
Galatasaray shared images of the pair of attackers, Osimhen and Mertens training, smiling and laughing together during Okan Buruk’s training session on Thursday.
