Victor Osimhen has been on the radar of several clubs this winter, including PSG, although Luis Enrique isn’t interested. However, the player made a surprising decision.

Osimhen, currently on loan from Napoli to Galatasaray, has been impressive in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring 13 goals and providing 3 assists in 16 matches this season. His performances have caught the attention of major clubs, with Manchester United recently approaching Napoli for a potential transfer. However, Osimhen firmly rejected the idea of leaving Galatasaray in January, preferring to finish the season in Turkey.

De Laurentiis Angered by Osimhen’s Decision

This decision has angered Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli, who believes Osimhen’s stance complicates negotiations regarding the player’s future. In a sharp response reported by La Repubblica, De Laurentiis remarked, “Let him stay where he is. Tell Galatasaray to buy him.”

Osimhen’s case is now a sensitive issue for Napoli, with the future of the striker becoming increasingly uncertain. PSG had shown interest, as sporting advisor Luis Campos values the player’s profile, but this is not the case for Paris Saint-Germain’s coach Luis Enrique, who has firmly rejected the arrival of the forward.
