Galatasaray finished the 2025 season on top with 68 points, leading the Süper Lig by one point over Fenerbahçe. The 27‑year‑old Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has announced his desire to move to the Premier League, while the club insists it has no intention of selling him.
What is Osimhen's Premier League ambition?
The British press claims Osimhen has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea. His agents say the player wants to play regularly in Europe’s biggest leagues and is actively seeking the right opportunity. Osimhen stated, "I want to play at the highest level and fight for big trophies every season."
How did Galatasaray respond?
President Dursun Özbek declared, "Osimhen is a world‑class player and happy here. We have no intention to sell him." Yet some reports suggest the club set a €150 million fee and will not consider lower offers. Management highlighted that the striker remains a key figure for both league and European matches.
What is the transfer speculation landscape?
Osimhen’s representatives continue to monitor developments that could open a path back to England or the five big leagues. Galatasaray, citing his current season stats (67 goals scored, 22 conceded, +45 goal difference) and the team’s stability, said it is ready to resist any offer that does not match its interests. The side will host Alanyaspor on 2026‑12‑20.
When might a decision be made?
Osimhen’s Premier League dream will stay in the spotlight until the transfer window closes. While Galatasaray aims to maintain its league lead, the club is working toward a solution that serves its own goals. Fans remain focused on season‑end objectives as transfer news continues to generate excitement.
