Victor Osimhen faces a major decision this summer as Turkish champions Galatasaray prepare to make a record-breaking offer to secure his future in Istanbul. Since arriving on loan from Napoli, the 26-year-old striker has impressed with 28 goals and five assists in 32 matches across all competitions.
According to Soccernet.ng, Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray followed the collapse of a potential transfer to Chelsea. His remarkable form has caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.
Now, Galatasaray plans to make his move permanent by offering Napoli a record €70 million. The club also aims to secure Osimhen with a three-year deal worth €15 million net per season, along with performance-related bonuses.
Despite Galatasaray’s ambitious offer, the competition is fierce. Osimhen has openly admired the Premier League, mentioning his idol, Didier Drogba, and has long aspired to play in England.
Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are all monitoring the situation, with reports suggesting that Osimhen is available for £55 million. This price tag could trigger a bidding war among the clubs.
Galatasaray’s proposed contract would position Osimhen among the highest-paid players in Europe, matching the wages of stars like Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United. The package is also competitive with the lucrative deals offered by Saudi Arabian clubs.
Ultimately, though, money might not be the deciding factor. As Mikel Obi recently said, “Victor Osimhen has loads of options… but I see him becoming a massive legend if he joins Chelsea.”
With the summer transfer window looming, Osimhen’s decision will shape one of the most talked-about moves of the season.
