Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have reportedly taken the first steps in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen, with both clubs making verbal contract offers for the prolific striker.
According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the Ligue 1 champions and the Premier League giants are both prepared to activate Osimhen’s €75 million release clause, making a summer transfer highly likely.
“Victor Osimhen is about to sign a deal with a world-renowned management company, with a Real Madrid player even helping facilitate the discussions,” Sabuncuoglu told Haber Sari Kirmizi.
“This significantly reduces the chances of him staying at Galatasaray beyond June. PSG and Manchester United have already made verbal offers regarding salary and contract length.
Since both clubs are ready to meet Napoli’s release clause, it will be extremely difficult for Galatasaray to compete. A summer move seems inevitable.”
Galatasaray had attempted to secure Osimhen permanently, offering €65 million to Napoli, but their bid was rejected. The 26-year-old has been in stellar form during his loan spell, racking up 17 goals and five assists in 23 appearances across all competitions.
With two of Europe’s biggest clubs now vying for his signature, Osimhen’s next move could be one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer.
