Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has confirmed the chances of Victor Osimhen moving to Paris Saint-Germain in the winter transfer window.
Osimhen’s possible move from Napoli to the French side did not play out during the summer transfer window, after lengthy transfer negotiations in which both teams were unable to agree on the Nigerian’s release clause.
While transfer deals with Chelsea and Saudi Pro side Al Ahli also failed to materialise on transfer deadline day, he finally secured a season-long loan deal with Galatasaray.
The loaned attacker has since been in fine form for the Turkish side, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 12 games while becoming an instant fan favourite.

Manna on Osimhen’s potential move to PSG
Manna’s recent comment, however, raises the possibility of a January move to the French capital.
In an interview with Mediaset via Tuttomercatoweb, the Napoli sports director addressed speculations that Osimhen may join the French powerhouses this summer.
Although he acknowledged that a transfer might be “technically possible,” he clarified that PSG and no other party have approached him for Osimhen’s services up to this point.
“Technically possible, but nobody has called us,” Manna explained, as he confirmed the possibilities of negotiations with the French outfit while also revealing the situation that is at the moment.
Meanwhile, Osimhen will be keen to keep his form going for Galatasaray, starting with Sunday’s league outing against Sivasspor
