Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will not be signing Victor Osimhen (26) or Rayan Cherki (21) in the ongoing January transfer window, according to Téléfoot via GFFN.
Despite heavy speculation, internal disagreements and other factors have prevented the deals from materializing.
Internal Discord Over a No. 9
The potential arrival of a traditional striker like Victor Osimhen has been a contentious issue within PSG.
Sporting advisor Luís Campos has pushed for the signing of a natural No. 9, while head coach Luis Enrique has been hesitant.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer, was a target for PSG in the previous window.
Although speculation about a renewed pursuit this January persisted, Campos and Enrique’s differing visions appear to have halted any progress on the deal.

Cherki Stays Put at Lyon
Rayan Cherki’s potential move to PSG has also fallen through.
The Olympique Lyonnais playmaker, who was linked with a summer move to PSG before showing interest in Borussia Dortmund, remains at Lyon.
Dortmund’s failure to agree on a fee kept Cherki in Ligue 1, where his strong performances have kept him on PSG’s radar.
However, despite their interest, PSG have opted not to pursue Cherki this month.
PSG Eyeing a Winger
With Osimhen and Cherki ruled out, PSG are focusing their efforts on signing a winger.
The club seeks additional competition for Bradley Barcola, who has emerged as a key player on the flanks. S
trengthening the wing positions aligns with Luis Enrique’s tactical plans as PSG aim to enhance their depth in attacking areas.
