A PSG with two faces. This is how we could summarize the first part of the capital club’s season this season. With a rich squad but without Kylian Mbappé for the first time since 2017, Paris Saint-Germain alternates between the good and the less good. In Ligue 1, the record for Luis Enrique’s men has been excellent so far. A solid leader in the elite, the Ile-de-France team is ten points ahead of its runner-up, Olympique de Marseille. A comfortable lead which seems to promise the residents of the Parc des Princes to glean a 13th French championship, especially since Paris is coming off two controlled victories against OL (3-1) and AS Monaco (2-4 ) in recent days.
However, the results are much less stellar in the Champions League. Obviously unable to match their national performances on a continental scale, Bradley Barcola’s teammates are far from qualifying. Despite a great success against RB Salzburg 10 days ago (3-0), PSG is virtually eliminated, appearing in a rather worrying 25th place two days from the end. Especially since the Parisians will challenge Manchester City and VfB Stuttgart to close this championship phase in the Champions League. Two opponents also on reprieve and who will need an imperative victory to validate their ticket to the play-offs of the competition.
PSG contacted Victor Osimhen for this winter
To best prepare for all these deadlines, the capital club could need reinforcements. In this sense, the offensive sector could be reworked. While Randal Kolo Muani no longer fits into Luis Enrique’s plans, the Parisian board could work to recruit another scorer capable of competing with Gonçalo Ramos. And you don’t have to look further than Victor Osimhen Indeed, already in PSG’s sights this summer, the Nigerian striker was finally loaned to Galatasaray while his situation in Naples was unsustainable.
This winter, the former LOSC striker could also have a change of scenery. Author of a convincing debut with the Istanbul club (10 goals and 5 caviars in 14 appearances), the 25-year-old surface executioner was contacted by the leaders of PSG according to information from RMC. However, the negotiations promise to be complex because Luis Enrique could oppose the arrival of a number 9. Another concern is the particular situation of the native of Lagos. Loaned to Galatasaray, PSG must negotiate with Napoli and the Turkish club. Three-way negotiations which could compromise Osimhen’s arrival at the Parc des Princes this winter. One thing is certain: PSG is on alert to strengthen itself in January.
