Paris St‑Germain have been linked with a summer move for Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 27, currently at Turkish champions Galatasaray.
The Ligue 1 side are reported to be monitoring the centre-forward, whose market value is listed at €75.00m, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 41% by transfer specialists. Any deal would see Osimhen swap the Turkish Süper Lig for France’s top flight, although there is no agreement in place and the move remains at the rumour stage.
Osimhen, born in Lagos on 29 December 1998 and standing 1.86m tall, is regarded as one of Africa’s leading centre-forwards. A right-footed attacker who operates through the middle, he wears the number 45 shirt at Galatasaray. Data from Transfermarkt indicates his contract situation in Istanbul is unclear, with no expiry date publicly listed, which has prompted speculation that the club could be open to a major sale rather than risk him running down his deal towards free-agent status.
The Nigerian forward has already featured in high-profile fixtures for Galatasaray this season. In a recent Süper Lig outing on 1 June 2026, he started against title rivals Fenerbahçe in Istanbul, a match that finished 2-2. Osimhen led the line as Galatasaray twice came from behind, playing the full 90 minutes and remaining a focal point for their attack, even though he did not get on the scoresheet.
His performances in Turkey follow a career path that has taken him from Nigeria to Europe’s major leagues. While the latest Transfermarkt profile lists only his current club, Osimhen has significant top-flight experience and a consistent record as a central striker, factors which contribute to his high valuation and ongoing interest from Europe’s elite.
PSG are expected to reshape their forward line again this summer and are tracking options across Europe, with Osimhen viewed as a proven goalscorer who could adapt quickly to Ligue 1. Although no fee has been agreed, his €75.00m market value provides a benchmark for any discussions and underlines that he would not be a cut‑price signing.
With his age profile, physical attributes and reputation as a leading African forward, a switch to Paris – if it materialises – would represent another major step in Osimhen’s career and could define the next phase of his development at the highest level of European football.
