Victor Osimhen's immediate future could deliver another round of enthralling transfer twists as the winter market nears.
The Nigerian forward, who saw his future headline the summer window, appears poised to dominate transfer discussions once again as the January market approaches.
Several clubs within and outside Europe continue to show interest in signing the Nigerian, and reports suggest a permanent exit from Napoli in the January window is very likely.
However, amid these swirling reports and growing interest in Osimhen, a report has surfaced detailing that Galatasaray are set to table a record fee to sign the Nigerian forward permanently.
Galatasaray to sign Osimhen permanently
According to Turkish outlet, Sozcu, the Istanbul club are considering a transfer offer of around €50 million for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen, who has been thriving at the Turkish club, seems open to the idea of continuing his journey with Galatasaray.
This development deals a significant blow to several clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, who are among the top contenders vying for the striker’s signature.
As previously reported by Goal, Napoli confirmed an agreement to extend Osimhen's contract until 2027 before his loan move to Galatasaray, with his release clause reportedly reduced from €130 million to €75 million.
While Galatasaray’s offer are still well below Osimhen's new release clause, optimism is growing that a permanent transfer agreement could be reached between both clubs soon.
According to data from Fotmob, Osimhen has already contributed to eight goal involvements in his first eight appearances for the Yellow and Reds.
