Victor Osimhen’s future is still far from clear. As you know, the Napoli striker has been PSG’s target for many weeks.

The Team indicates in its columns this Friday that Luis Enrique is not so hot with Victor Osimhen. He would be ” not very keen on a “9” in his profile “, writes the sports daily, before driving the point home further: ” He is not the type of centre-forward that Luis Enrique likes to rely on. “The Naples striker is in reality the wish of Luis Campos, who has kept good contact with him since their shared past at LOSC, and of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
