Reports in France suggest that Paris Saint-Germain have contacted Napoli to discuss signing Victor Osimhen in January, interrupting the Galatasaray loan.
RMC Sport claim that an initial approach has been made with the Nigeria international’s entourage to see if he would be open to the move.
PSG had been among the favourites to sign Osimhen over the summer, but refused to meet the €100m asking price set by Napoli.
He then got close to Chelsea and a Saudi Pro League transfer, only for them all to fall apart, leading to a September loan switch to Galatasaray instead.

Paris Saint-Germain might be back in for the centre-forward during the January transfer window, especially if Randal Kolo Muani is allowed to leave and make room.
It is going to be a complicated situation regardless, as Galatasaray also need payment to interrupt the season-long loan and it remains to be seen if Napoli would accept a discount on the €90m clause.
The man who turns 26 later this month has been on sparkling form in Turkey with 10 goals and five assists in 14 competitive games.
