Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are currently monitoring Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to reports, Los Blancos have identified Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Galatasaray’s Osimhen as potential signings for next season.

According to Turkish journalist Ali Naci Küçük, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain sent scouts to watch Osimhen during Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool at RAMS Park last week.

According to reports from Turkish outlet Sabah, the Spanish giants are preparing a bid in the region of €80m to secure the services of the Super Eagles striker.

Los Blancos could, however, face strong competition from rivals Barcelona, who are also looking to replace Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.

The 37-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign.

European champions Paris Saint-Germain have also reportedly renewed their interest in the services of Victor Osimhen.

The Parisians wanted to sign both Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the summer of 2024 but saw their €210m bid rejected by the Naples-based club.

Kvaratskhelia eventually joined Luis Enrique’s side in the winter transfer window in 2025 and helped guide them to a historic treble.
