Victor Osimhen is liked by half of Europe and can become a treasure for Napoli: all clubs in the running for Nigerian striker
Victor Osimhen is one of Europe’s most desired strikers, and Napoli could soon find itself with a dizzying treasure. The Nigerian, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has attracted the attention of clubs from half of Europe, from the Premier League to Ligue 1, with Juventus ready to enter the race. His termination clause, Champions League dreams and market strategies are holding sway.
With a contract that binds him to Napoli until 2026, but with an evolving situation, Osimhen is at the center of a market intrigue that could change the balance of European soccer.
Victor Osimhen: un talento che fa gola a mezza Europa
Victor Osimhen’s is a name that rattles defenses and ignites fans’ dreams. The Nigerian striker, who led Napoli to the Scudetto in 2023 with 26 goals in Serie A, is currently on loan at Galatasaray, but his future is all to be written. The relationship between Osimhen and President De Laurentiis has soured, and the player has expressed a desire to stay in Turkey until the end of the season. However, Napoli knows they have a treasure on their hands, with a 75 million euro rescission clause valid for foreign clubs.
Osimhen, at the age of 26, has already proven that he is a thoroughbred bomber. Even this season he has already scored 26 goals in 30 appearances with Galatasaray, attracting the attention of half of Europe. But the lure of the Premier League and the Champions League is strong, and Napoli could soon cash in on a big fee, turning Osimhen into a real treasure for the future.
Osimhen in Premier League: i club inglesi in pole position
Victor Osimhen’s dream is clear: to play in the Premier League and breathe the air of the Champions League. The English one is an increasingly concrete possibility, with several clubs ready to go crazy for him. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are all interested, and national teammate William Troost-Ekong has confirmed that Osimhen will play in England next season.

Osimhen himself has never hidden his love for the Premier: he has a home in Paris, leaving the doors open to PSG, which tried to buy him in the summer, but he would not mind buying one in London or Manchester, perhaps near Old Trafford or Anfield.
The 75-million-euro rescission clause for foreign clubs makes the deal more affordable than in the past, when 120-130 million was talked about. However, Osimhen could only give up the Champions League for a nabob contract, a five-year deal with sky-high figures that few clubs can afford. That is why Arabia goes by the wayside.
Juventus su Osimhen: una trattativa complicata con De Laurentiis
Not only Europe, Italy also wants Victor Osimhen, and Juventus is ready to get serious. Cristiano Giuntoli, who had brought Osimhen to Napoli in 2020 for €75 million from Lille, now wants to try again for the Bianconeri. However, the negotiation is complex: the €75 million figure is not valid for Italian clubs, and De Laurentiis, mindful of the Higuain case, has no intention of giving up another striker to his historical rivals.
Juventus sees Osimhen as the ideal replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who could leave Turin in the summer. Giuntoli is working to convince the player, with whom he has an excellent relationship. However, De Laurentiis will not make life easy and may raise the price further for Juventus. With the summer market approaching, Napoli knows it has an ace up its sleeve.
