Real Madrid Join Race for Nigerian Star Victor Osimhen Amid Premier League Interest

Los Blancos Eye €75m Move as Napoli Striker Weighs Future Options

Real Madrid have reportedly entered the competition to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The 26-year-old, currently on loan at Galatasaray, is expected to leave Napoli permanently at the end of the 2024-25 season, with clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia vying for his signature.

Osimhen has been in scintillating form, netting 29 goals in 34 appearances for Galatasaray, boosting his market value to €68.9 million. Despite strong interest from Saudi Pro League sides—who are ready to meet his €15 million annual salary demands—the striker is said to prefer a move to the Premier League. However, Real Madrid’s sudden involvement could change his plans.

The Spanish giants are reportedly considering activating Osimhen’s €75 million release clause amid uncertainty over Vinicius Junior’s long-term future at the club. While Galatasaray also hopes to secure him permanently, Osimhen’s recent comments suggest he may be ready for a new challenge.

“Galatasaray will always be in my heart,” Osimhen told NTV. “There are always rumours, but I focus on the present. I’m enjoying this moment—the fans have been incredible. When the time comes, the right decision will be made.”

With multiple suitors lining up, Osimhen’s next move promises to be one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas. Will he choose the prestige of Real Madrid, the allure of the Premier League, or the financial power of Saudi Arabia? The football world waits eagerly for his decision.
