Victor Osimhen remains one of the main intrigues of the international transfer market. Sport24.az reports that although it seems realistic that the Nigerian footballer will return to "Napoli" on June 30 after the end of his loan period at "Galatasaray", according to reports, the Turkish champion has not given up the idea of keeping the 26-year-old forward in Istanbul.
A photo that spread rapidly on social networks has gone viral: the number 45 and the name "Osimhen" have already been printed on the "Galatasaray" jersey for the 2025/26 season. Although this was initially assumed to be simply a vendor's initiative, according to Corriere dello Sport, it is possible to order a new jersey with Osimhen's name from the club's official website.
There is a more serious plan behind this move, not just a marketing intention. To persuade Osimhen, "Galatasaray" has offered him a net salary of 16 million euros per season. According to local media, head coach Okan Buruk has also personally tried to persuade him to make this transfer happen.
At the same time, Saudi Arabia's "Al-Hilal" club continues to show interest in Osimhen and is ready to offer him 160 million euros for 4 years.
