Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been in scintillating form for the Turkish giants, netting 17 goals and providing five assists in 23 matches, TransferMarkt reports.
His performances have earned the Super Eagles forward high praise in Turkey and placed him among the top European clubs eager to secure his services when the summer transfer window reopens.
New management and Real Madrid’s Involvement
Turkish football analyst Yagız Sabuncuoglu has disclosed that Osimhen is on the verge of signing with a globally renowned sports management agency, Habersarikirmizi reports.
Interestingly, a Real Madrid player is reportedly facilitating these discussions, hinting at potential high-profile negotiations behind the scenes.
"Victor Osimhen is about to sign a deal with a world-famous management company. In fact, a Real Madrid player is mediating these talks. What does this mean? The possibility of signing with Galatasaray in June has decreased a lot," Sabuncuoğlu stated.
This development suggests that a permanent move to Galatasaray is becoming increasingly unlikely, with the striker setting his sights on a bigger European destination.
PSG and Manchester United lead race for Osimhen
Sabuncuoglu also confirmed that both PSG and Manchester United have already presented verbal offers regarding Osimhen’s salary and contract terms ahead of the summer transfer window.
"PSG and Manchester United made verbal offers to the player regarding salary and contract period. Because both clubs agreed to give Napoli a release clause.
“It is very difficult for Galatasaray to compete with these two clubs. He is most likely leaving at the end of the season,” he added.
With Napoli demanding a significant transfer fee, PSG and United appear to be in pole position, while Galatasaray faces an uphill battle to retain the Nigerian forward.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Osimhen’s next move. With two of Europe’s biggest clubs making their intentions clear, the Super Eagles star could be set for a high-profile switch that could shape the next phase of his career.
