Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker currently on loan at Galatasaray, is attracting growing interest from top European clubs.
The latest club to join the race for the 26-year-old forward is Real Madrid, according to reports.
Spanish giants are on the lookout for a top-tier striker, and Florentino Perez, Real Madrid’s president, has included Osimhen in his list of potential candidates.
Perez believes the young, energetic, and athletic Osimhen, along with his clinical finishing ability, would be an ideal fit for the team. Sources suggest that there is a high likelihood of this transfer taking place at the end of the current season.
Manchester United and Barcelona in race
Meanwhile, Manchester United is considering a player swap deal for the Nigerian forward. However, Napoli, Osimhen’s parent club, is reportedly not interested in pursuing this option.
On the other hand, Barcelona, currently facing financial challenges, is seeking sponsorships to help fund a potential move for Osimhen. The Catalan club is eager to bolster their attacking options with the highly coveted striker.
