July, 2025 — Nigerian international and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly rejected a lucrative offer from Turkish giants Galatasaray, signalling his strong preference for a move to the English Premier League.
Despite Galatasaray’s readiness to meet Osimhen’s €75 million release clause and offer a highly attractive wage package, the 25-year-old striker turned down the proposal, citing his desire to compete at the highest level of club football in England.
Sources close to the player indicate that Osimhen is focused on a Premier League move this summer, believing it aligns better with his career ambitions and competitive goals.
The Napoli star, who has been a top transfer target for several English clubs including Chelsea and Manchester United in past windows, is expected to attract renewed interest as the summer transfer market heats up.
Osimhen remains one of Africa’s most sought-after forwards, following another impressive Serie A campaign and continued standout performances for the Super Eagles.
