Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is set to make a decision regarding his football future by Monday or Tuesday, according to respected Galatasaray journalist Serhan Turk. The Nigerian international has attracted interest from several top clubs including Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Juventus.
Speaking during an A Spor broadcast, Turk revealed that Turkish giants Galatasaray have already set aside a specific budget for Osimhen's potential transfer, with significant contributions coming from sponsorships.
"I think Victor Osimhen will make his decision on Monday or Tuesday. A budget has been set aside for Osimhen, and sponsorships have a big contribution to this budget," Turk stated. "However, these sponsors will only step in for Osimhen's transfer. I think sponsorships may shift to other players as well. Because Galatasaray brings very important players."
Galatasaray's Pursuit Intensifies
This development comes as Galatasaray has reportedly intensified their efforts to sign Osimhen on a permanent basis from Napoli this summer. The striker is widely expected to leave the Italian club permanently during the current transfer window.
Osimhen's potential move has generated significant interest across Europe, with Premier League club Chelsea also showing strong interest in acquiring the Nigerian forward. Meanwhile, Italian giants Juventus have also entered the race for his signature.
The 25-year-old striker has established himself as one of the most sought-after forwards in European football following his impressive performances for Napoli, particularly during their Serie A title-winning 2022/23 season.
Football analysts suggest that Osimhen's decision will likely hinge on factors including playing time, Champions League football, and financial terms offered by the interested clubs.
