Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race to sign in-form Napoli forward Victor Osimhen next summer.

According to French website, Le 10 Sport, the 23-year-old Nigeria international has a good chance to return to Ligue 1 with the Parisians the likely destination.

Current PSG coach Christophe Galtier, who signed the striker while he was at Lille, is keen to reunite with the Napoli star who is currently the leading scorer in the Italian Serie A with nine goals.

The report also revealed Napoli Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli met with PSG officials few days ago to discuss possible deals for Fabian Ruiz and Keylor Navas but a move for Osimhen was also talked over.

“PSG have opted for a Napoli player for next season and the identity has been revealed as Osimhen,” the report revealed.

“During the trip to Paris a few days ago, Giuntoli spoke not only of Fabian Ruiz and Navas with PSG, but also of Victor Osimhen.

“PSG have an option for next season.”

Meanwhile, Osimhen has hinted that his future at the club remains uncertain.

“Napoli is one of the best clubs in Europe and I want to win here,”Osimhen said.

“The future is now, trying to win something relevant in Italy. It’s hard to think of anything better than Napoli, one of the best clubs in Italy, right now.

“I’m only focusing on this season because we haven’t done anything yet. We have to win something and then we’ll see what happens.”
