The latest transfer update for Victor Osimhen could see him join London in very soon. Chelsea and Arsenal were keen on signing him. Both the clubs were willing to fight for him in the summer. But, the Gunners never really made a move for the 25-year-old. So, the Blues were the favorites to sign him in the dying days of the summer window. But, even they ended up pulling out of negotiations. Manager Enzo Maresca would clarify that there were ‘unfavorable conditions’ for the move. As a result, the Nigerian star was in a tricky situation at Napoli. As a result, he had to sign on for another year with them. In the end, Galatasaray ended up signing him on a loan deal.
Victor Osimhen transfer update – What happened?
Osimhen’s bonds at Napoli were broken. His behavior made it clear that he won’t be playing for the Serie A side. Despite his moves being broken, Antonio Conte would not name him into the lineup. At the same time, the 25-year-old had to make a move to Turkiye as a last resort. Owing to his move outside of Europe’s top 5 leagues, his market value is now down by €25 million. As of now, his current market value is €75 million. But, Victor Osimhen has different opinions on this transfer update. The Nigerian star strongly believes that he is worth more.
What lies in the future for the star striker?
It is quite true that the 25-year-old is a very quality player. At the same time, there are few in the world quite like him. Other than Chelsea and Arsenal, PSG and Al-Ahli also came close to signing him in the summer. But, PSG and Arsenal never really made their moves. Meanwhile, the striker made it clear he wanted to stay in Europe. So, Chelsea have a great chance to sign Victor Osimhen with the latest transfer update. But, even they might reconsider now given the form Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku have been in. Nonetheless, this transfer saga just keeps refusing to die out.
