Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga was one of the longest and most exciting in the recently ended transfer window.Eventually, the Nigerian striker ended up in Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli, but there were many more clubs interested in signing the 25-year-old attacker.Chelsea probably showed the most interest, the Saudis followed, and there was Paris Saint-Germain among the bidders, too.Obi Mikel reveals his involvement in a Osimhen – Chelsea dealAfter Kylian Mbappe’s departure, it seemed that Les Parisiens desperately needed a prolific replacement.For quite some time, we had an impression PSG and Chelsea would fight for Osimhen until the very last day, but both withdrew. Speaking at the Thinking Football Summit in Portugal, Les Parisiens’ sporting director, Luis Campos, revealed why the Saints decided not to push for the African forward.”He was considered as one of the possibilities, but we concluded that we were very satisfied with Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani and Marco Asensio,” said Campos, in a conference transcribed by RMC Sport. Not even an injury to Ramos on the opening day of the Ligue 1 season instigated PSG to reignite their interest.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 4Friday 21.45: (4.90) Saint-Etienne (3.60) Lille (1.75)Saturday 18.00: (1.80) Olympique Marseille (3.60) Nice (4.60)20.00: (4.10) Auxerre (3.70) Monaco (1.85)22.00: (1.30) PSG (5.80) Brest (9.00)Sunday 16.00: (1.65) Rennes (3.80) Montpellier (5.40)18.00: (2.40) Nantes (3.45) Reims (3.15)18.00: (1.70) Strasbourg (3.60) Angers (5.30)18.00: (1.90) Toulouse (3.60) Le Havre (4.50)21.45: (1.90) Lens (3.70) Olympique Lyon (4.40)***odds are subject to change***
