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.

Juventus Not Abandoning Their Long-Shot Osimhen Pursuit

Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray looks on during the Super Lig match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce at Rams Park, Istanbul, Turkey on February 24, 2025. Juventus have been eyeing Victor Osimhen ever since he joined Galatasaray last summer. He continues to be at the top of their wish list at the position despite the obvious difficulties in signing him from Napoli, Tuttomercatoweb informs. The Bianconeri don’t anticipate keeping their two current strikers. They’ll settle for a low fee for Dusan Vlahovic. A €20M income would be enough to avoid a loss. His acquisition has been almost entirely amortized. They’ll attempt to keep Randal Kolo Muani on loan with an option or obligation to buy. However, they wouldn’t insist too much if they didn’t like PSG’s terms. Juventus are ready to rival...

Chelsea ‘angered’ Victor Osimhen and blew up transfer with ‘pay cut’ request

Chelsea are said to have blown apart their efforts to sign their main striker target with a low offer.

The Blues are said to have proposed a loan deal with a mandatory option to buy, delaying the bulk payment in a bid to skirt Profit and Sustainability rules. That left many wondering why Napoli would turn down the deal, especially after they signed Romelu Lukaku and Al-Ahli walked away from the Osimhen deal despite having a bid accepted, ultimately deciding to sign Ivan Toney from Bren...
