According to a report by Turkish outlet Nexus Sports, the Ligue 1 club is looking to complete a deal for Osimhen in the winter transfer market.

The report further states that the 25-year-old is keen on a move to the French capital but remains happy at Galatasaray for now.

According to Italian football expert, Nicolo Schira, a deal for Osimhen is expected to cost around €81 million.

PSG's interest in Osimhen appears to be gaining traction, especially with swirling reports indicating that the team's coach, Luis Enrique, has sidelined current forward Randal Kolo Muani following his below-par performances since his transfer from German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

The sale of the 26-year-old is expected to create room for Osimhen's potential arrival in the winter transfer window.
