Striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly signaled his potential departure from Turkish champions Galatasaray this summer, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The 27-year-old Nigerian scored twice in Galatasaray's opening-day draw with newly-promoted Corum FK, yet opted to remain diplomatic regarding transfer speculation linking him to Arsenal.
Osimhen stated that transfer rumors are common during transfer windows and that he will concentrate on his job and upcoming matches. Spanish publication SPORT reports that Barcelona showed interest in signing Osimhen but opted for alternative targets, potentially leaving Arsenal as the leading candidate to sign the Nigerian. Galatasaray has reportedly rejected a €130 million offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
Arsenal, who failed to sign Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola, and Julian Alvarez this summer, are now reportedly pursuing a deal with Osimhen. Despite the speculation, Osimhen expressed his commitment to Galatasaray, having signed a contract until June 2029. He acknowledged the challenges ahead and called for a strong performance from his teammates and fans to gain momentum before the Champions League.
