Report: Former Premier League kings could end Osimhen’s Galatasaray stay prematurely with €70 million bid

Victor Osimhen failed to get a big transfer last summer, but he might get a breakthrough soon

Former English Premier League champions Manchester United could end Victor Osimhen’s loan at Galatasaray prematurely with a €70 million bid in January, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osimhen is currently one of the best strikers in the world, and he has attracted a lot of interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world in the last two years.

Recall that his transfer from Napoli dominated the transfer market talks last summer. But he had to sign for Galatasaray as no big club put in a good offer and Napoli alienated him.

Initially, Osimhen joined Galatasaray for a season-long loan, but the speculations about his future have not stopped due to his fine form in Turkey.

This season, the 25-year-old hitman has provided ten goals and five assists in 13 games. There have even been talks that Galatasaray want to make his deal permanent.

However, that may not happen. And this is as Transfer News Live reports that Manchester United to offer Napoli €70 million for Osimhen when the January transfer window opens.

The Red Devils are looking to revamp their squad following the appointment of Ruben Amorim, and Osimhen has attributes that the Portuguese tactician would find useful.

However, the transfer could get complicated, as Galatasaray would be unwilling to let him go in January.
