Victor Osimhen Tops Unwanted Transfer Market List Despite Stellar Galatasaray Form

Victor Osimhen might be experiencing one of his most potent patches in front of goal, but the Nigerian forward has struggled to see it translate to his market value.

With 17 goal involvements in 16 appearances, according to data courtesy of FotMob, since his transfer to Galatasaray, Osimhen remains one of Europe's most prolific attackers.

However, the forward's form has sadly not translated into an increase in his transfer value, according to the latest rankings published by Transfermarkt.

Napoli chief blast Osimhen

Legit.ng in another report detailed how Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, blasted Osimhen following his latest stance on a reported move to Manchester United.

The former LOSC Lille star is reportedly keen on finishing the 2024/25 season with Galatasaray and turned down a winter transfer switch to the Premier League outfit.

This decision by the current Galatasaray star has left the Napoli president furious, prompting him to vent his frustration at the Nigerian forward.

While Osimhen may not be interested in a transfer away from Galatasaray during this window, the forward could still consider an exit later in the summer.
