The market turns yellow around Napoli-owned bomber: Galatasaray’s gesture toward the center forward may be indicative, Juve moves
Osimhen, il gesto del Galatasaray e la mossa della Juve: sempre più un intrigo (Ansa Foto) – SerieAnews
Victor Osimhen will be one of the absolute stars of the upcoming summer soccer market session. And it seems to have gone back a year, because even in the last one the Nigerian was a genuine frontrunner. Then again, center-forwards capable of shifting the balance and single-handedly determining the outcome of a match there are not many of them, and the Nigerian has proven that he belongs to this category.
Last season, the stormy farewell to Napoli only materialized in September, “blamed” on the right offer that never came, neither for the club nor for the player. The loan to Galatasaray was a kind of last-minute exit strategy that, at the end of the day, pleased all parties.
A temporary solution, however, because in a little more than a few weeks the problem will arise again. Osimhen, at Galatasaray, showed all his talent: 25 goals in 29 league games, as many as 36 in 40 total appearances. Crazy numbers that cannot but raise the level of attention of top clubs towards him.
Osimhen nicchia con il Galatasaray: il suo obiettivo è chiaro
As is well known, Osimhen has a 75 million euro termination clause in his contract with Napoli. An almost “balance” figure given also the values of other players’ tags. A clause valid only for foreign countries, a condition put by patron De Laurentiis to avoid seeing the Nigerian in an Italian rival.
Galatasaray would like to keep him next season as well, but it is Osimhen who definitely has other priorities than the Turkish Super Lig. And so while there is no shortage of love messages to the club and the Istanbul fans, the Nigerian is also winking at the Premier League, his chosen destination for the continuation of his career.
And who knows, Galatasaray, sensing Osimhen’s ultimate will, may have decided to forgo the bomber in the last matches of the season. Yesterday he was not summoned for the penultimate league match that Galatasaray won 2-0 on the field of Goztepe with goals by Kaan Ayhan and Alvaro Morata. A clear signal that smacks of a breakup?

The coming weeks will surely be explanatory about the bomber’s future. What is certain is Juventus’ desire to bring him to Turin at all costs. Cristiano Giuntoli bought him when he was at Napoli and knows inside out what the player can give Juve. Hence the willingness to open negotiations with the Neapolitan club almost finding the door barred by President De Laurentiis.
