CM: Osimhen back on the market – the stance of Napoli, Milan and Juventus | OneFootball

Victor Osimhen was the surprise move of the summer in many ways as he ended up at Galatasaray after a long ordeal, but his future beyond this season remains a mystery.

As Calciomercato.com recall, Osimhen’s dream of a move to the Premier League never came to fruition and in the end a player with a market value of over €100m and a salary of €12m net per season ended up in the Turkish capital.

He has six goals in as many league games for Galatasaray, two in the Europa League and more importantly a rediscovered confidence. However, he is on a dry loan and that pushes the issue of his permanent future down the line to next summer.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis wants at least the same amount paid to sign him from Lille, which is €75m, also his release clause after renewing with the Partenopei until 2027. It is a figure clearly not within the reach of Galatasaray.

If Osimhen were to continue to maintain his scoring average of one goal per game from now until early January – not to mention the end of the season – it is in the natural order of things that more than one club would come knocking on Napoli’s door.

A half a rich Premier League club like Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United could make an attempt as early as January, but although the lure of English football and the idea of ​​returning to a more competitive league are tempting prospects for the Nigerian, a winter deal does seem difficult.

Could he end up back in Serie A? Discarding a priori the hypothesis of a return to Napoli, Osimhen has been linked with Milan and Juventus. When asked about a Rossoneri attempt to get him on loan at the end of the transfer window, Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave a smile and nothing more.

Milan are a club that have long been very economically stringent and that is why making a huge investment seems almost impossible at the moment. Juve meanwhile cannot afford such a big fee either, even with the sale of Dusan Vlahovic.
