Man United receive Victor Osimhen transfer update as ‘contract proposal sent’

Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray looks on during the Super Lig match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce at Rams Park, Istanbul, Turkey on February 24, 2025. Galatasaray are reportedly trying to sign Victor Osimhen permanently this summer transfer window, as a proposed deal with Al-Hilal is said to be falling through. Osimhen spent last season on loan at the Turkish club, scoring 37 goals in 41 matches across all competitions as they won the league and cup double. However, the striker is still under contract at Napoli for another season. A move to the Saudi Pro League has seemed the most likely since the transfer window opened on 1 June. Al-Hilal reputedly want a deal for Osimhen done in time to play at the Club World Cup, but that would require the transfer to happen on or before 10 June...
