Transfer talks between Galatasaray and Arsenal
Galatasaray's talks with Arsenal over Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri included discussions about Victor Osimhen's potential transfer. A £38.4 million official offer for Martinelli was mentioned, while Nwaneri's loan spell with Marseille in the second half of the previous season was also considered. The talks, which included Arsenal's Football Director Andrea Berta, were conducted in a broad scope.
Osimhen's transfer remains uncertain
During the talks, speculation arose about Victor Osimhen's potential move to Arsenal. However, it remains unclear whether Arsenal initiated the discussion or if Galatasaray proposed it. Arsenal has long shown interest in Osimhen, but he ranks second behind Julian Alvarez in their striker transfer list.
Alvarez's transfer is complicated by his release clause
Julian Alvarez's release clause of over £100 million with Atletico Madrid complicated Arsenal's transfer plans. As a result, the club is considering alternative strikers. 27-year-old Osimhen, who has proven himself as one of Europe's most effective strikers with Napoli and Galatasaray, is highlighted.
Tottenham also interested in Osimhen
Osimhen's name has also surfaced in talks with Tottenham. The London rivals are following the Nigerian striker to strengthen their attack. With these developments, it remains unclear whether Arsenal will take any official steps.
