Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has given an update about the future of Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, as the summer transfer window beckons, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 26-year-old attempted to force an exit from Napoli last summer, but his release clause of €130m was way too high for any club to outrightly trigger. So, he joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan instead.
Osimhen's form with Okan Buruk's side has seen interest in him remain at an all-time high, and the former LOSC Lille forward will have a huge decision to make when it's time to move to another club in the summer.

The former Wolfsburg man has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of a summer move, but Fabrizio Romano clarified the striker's future.
“The contract of Victor Osimhen includes an extension of the [release] clause in case Napoli don't sell the player by the end of June.“
“From the 1st of July, the clause of Victor Osimhen will be around €75-80 million. This is the amount, I will be more precise in the next weeks to tell you exactly, but this is the value of the clause,” the Italian journalist said on his official YouTube channel.
“Many clubs are informed on the situation. You remember how Paris Saint-Germain in July considered Victor Osimhen, then in August, they went for completely different players.
“We know several clubs are looking for strikers, including Manchester United, but at this point, they are still not reaching out to Osimhen’s camp or Napoli.
“So they are monitoring several strikers, but it's still too early to see who's going to be the new striker, the new number nine of Manchester United in the summer,” Fabrizio concluded.
