FRENCH champions Paris Saint-Germain have set their sights on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, aiming to forge a formidable partnership alongside Kylian Mbappé in a bid to sway the World Cup winner into staying at the Parc des Princes.
While previous rumours hinted that PSG eyed Osimhen as a potential replacement for the Real Madrid-linked Mbappé, SPORT.es reports that PSG’s objective is not to replace the young Frenchman but rather to enlist Osimhen’s support in persuading him to sign a fresh contract.
