Nigerian legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha was spotted celebrating with Paris Saint-Germain stars Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, and ex-Real Madrid defender Marcelo, Soccernet.ng reports.

Following PSG’s historic UEFA Champions League triumph in Munich, Okocha, who was formerly a player for the French Ligue 1 giants, was seen with the men of the moment.

In a picture seen by Soccernet.ng, the former Fenerbahçe playmaker appeared in high spirits as he joined the players for post-match photos and festivities after PSG dismantled Inter Milan 5-0 to clinch their first-ever Champions League title.

Okocha’s presence at the final comes just days after he advised Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to consider remaining at Galatasaray beyond his loan spell, having cited Turkey as a country with a rich football culture.

“Turkey is a great place to play and live football,” Okocha told Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor via Le Marca Sports.
“Osimhen had a great season at Galatasaray. Ultimately, he is happy there. Why shouldn’t he stay with the team?”

While Okocha didn’t hint at any possible move for Osimhen to PSG or another top club, his appearance alongside PSG stars like Hakimi and Marquinhos could spark a potential connection—or perhaps just be a random gesture.

Marcelo, who was formerly Hakimi’s teammate at Real Madrid, also joined the celebration in what turned into a reunion.

Last summer, the Parc des Princes outfit was one of the teams vying for the signature of the Nigerian attacker. Should they return to the market for his services, Okocha might play a key role in the transfer pursuit.
