Victor Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and is a top target for the summer transfer window in 2025. He has had an amazing season, scoring 36 goals and providing eight assists in 40 games, helping Galatasaray win both the Turkish league and cup. This has led to a lot of talk about where he might go next.
Chelsea Interest: Chelsea is very interested in him, with reports saying they are getting ready to make a £52m offer after Osimhen said no to Juventus, which hints at a possible move to the Premier League. The Blues think he could really change the game for them, but his high salary demands have made talks difficult in the past.
Manchester United Talks: Manchester United is looking into a swap deal that would involve Rasmus Hojlund plus €40m (£33.6m). They see Osimhen as a crucial addition after missing out on Liam Delap, and his market value is thought to be lower because of his loan.
Al-Hilal Push: The Saudi club Al-Hilal is a strong contender, reportedly offering a €120m salary package over three years and is ready to activate Osimhen’s €75m release clause. Talks are still happening, and while some sources say Osimhen is interested, others disagree.
Napoli’s Stance: Napoli is open to selling him permanently but is not willing to lower his release clause. A recent meeting between Napoli’s president and their new manager Antonio Conte suggests that Osimhen might leave, especially since his issues were with the club and not with Conte.
Posts on X and various reports show that Al-Hilal is aggressively pursuing him, but Osimhen seems to prefer the Premier League, particularly Chelsea, which keeps the competition alive. His international teammate William Troost-Ekong and former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel think he is meant to play in England. However, no deal has been made yet, and his future depends on ongoing negotiations, with Chelsea and Manchester United also facing competition from Al-Hilal’s strong financial offers.
