Victor Osimhen’s future has taken another twist. Earlier, Transfer News Live had reported that the Nigerian forward wants a move to Manchester United.
And it made sense. The Premier League giants were searching for a reliable No. 9, and Osimhen ticked all the boxes.
But the latest developments point elsewhere. Galatasaray, where the striker spent time on loan, are now leading the chase.
The Turkish side were impressed with what they saw during his brief stay. His goals, pace, and ability to drag defenders made a huge impact.
And it was not just fans who took notice. Club officials did too.
Now, they are ready to bring him back. Only this time, not on loan. They want a permanent deal. Talks with Napoli have already begun.
What makes this move even more fascinating is that it could become the biggest transfer in Turkish football history.
Galatasaray have already made a strong opening offer. They want to build their team around the 26-year-old striker.
The club believes he can help them compete not just domestically but in Europe too.
Osimhen is open to the idea. He enjoyed his time in Istanbul. The fans loved him, and he felt at home.
If the Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray deal happens, he would be returning to familiar surroundings. But it is not done yet. There is one big hurdle left.
Fichajes reports that Napoli are holding out for €75 million, not the €60 million Galatasaray have currently offered.
Still, both sides are talking. Neither has walked away from the table.
And with Osimhen keen on returning, this story could move fast.
If completed, the move would be a statement both for Galatasaray and for Turkish football.
