A Galatasaray chief has claimed that five of the “world’s top clubs” want to sign Victor Osimhen and he will decide on his future in April.

…Five top teams want Napoli striker
…Decision on his future due soon
WHAT HAPPENED?
Galatasaray vice president Abdullah Kavukcu says Osimhen, who is on loan from Napoli, “loves” the Turkish team and a permanent transfer to the Super Lig outfit is “not impossible”. He did add, however, that five of the world’s top clubs are interested in him and the Nigerian will announce his decision on his future plans next month.
WHAT THE GALATASARAY VICE PRESIDENT SAID
He told Sport Mediaset: “Osimhen will announce his decision in April. At the moment, five of the world’s top clubs are interested in him. His arrival here was a dream – he came, and for now, he is playing with us. In January, there was talk of a transfer, but he stayed. He loves Galatasaray very much. Right now, he is the dream of all our rivals. Although we are focused on winning the title, we have not had direct discussions with Victor yet. There is no point in talking about it now. Galatasaray are a top-level club – if it weren’t, Victor wouldn’t have come. His stay at Galatasaray is not as impossible as it may seem.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Osimhen has been one of the most coveted strikers in the world in recent years but despite being linked to Chelsea, Arsenal, and more, he is currently playing at Galatasaray. There may be another almighty battle for the 26-year-old in the summer, though.
WHAT NEXT?
Transfer speculation aside, Osimhen is likely to feature for Nigeria away to Rwanda in their latest World Cup qualifier on Friday.
