Paris Saint-Germain are set to rival Manchester United in their attempts to sign a central striker this summer as they prepare to allow Lionel Messi leave at the end of his contract.
Both clubs are eyeing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen with United sending scouts to watch the Nigerian in their Champions League quarter final clash against Milan. The 24-year-old is highly regard by United transfer chiefs and he heads the club’s striking shortlist.
Mirror Football exclusively reported that PSG are no longer prioritising a new deal for Messi, who is out of contract this summer. Barcelona will attempt to sign the Argentine superstar this summer but the Catalan club’s well-documented financial issues, coupled with Messi’s desire to remain in Europe, may see negotiations with PSG resumed in the summer.
