Victor Osimhen’s future remains one of the most intriguing narratives in European football, but for now, the Nigerian striker has his sights firmly set on his current chapter at Galatasaray. Despite numerous rumors linking him to Europe’s elite clubs, recent revelations from close associate and journalist Buchi Laba suggest that the striker won’t be considering any transfer until the season’s end.
Osimhen’s tumultuous summer was marked by Napoli’s staunch resistance to bids from several suitors. According to Laba, Napoli frustrated every club vying for the striker’s signature during the summer transfer window—except for Chelsea. However, the Premier League giants reportedly mishandled negotiations, ultimately leaving the 24-year-old to secure a loan move to Turkish champions Galatasaray.
Since joining the Istanbul-based club, Osimhen has been in scintillating form, scoring 14 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions. This prolific start has bolstered Galatasaray’s aspirations, with the striker’s focus solely on contributing to his team’s success this season.
Meanwhile, Napoli’s stance on Osimhen’s future remains firm. The Italian club is reportedly open to selling the former African Footballer of the Year but only for a hefty transfer fee, with a €75 million termination clause included in his contract. As the summer approaches, the transfer market could see a renewed bidding war for the Nigerian star, with Chelsea and other top European clubs expected to re-enter the fray.
For now, though, Osimhen is fully committed to his Turkish adventure, leaving the next chapter of his career open to speculation. Whether it’s a return to Serie A, a Premier League debut, or a move to another top destination, the Nigerian striker will undoubtedly remain a hot commodity in the football world.
