In the last six months before the summer transfer window, Viktor Osimhen was part of the most chaotic transfer process we have seen in a long time. In the end, the player, who through his agent told the world he wanted far away from Napoli, stayed, extended his contract and was sent on loan outside the five biggest leagues. In the Europa League, the Nigerian striker reminded the world that he is still one of the best. Now work is being done for a surprising, permanent transition.

Of course, the international press wanted to know which club he plays for from January. The answer put a lid on transfer rumours that a big club will open the door for the 25-year-old in the winter transfer window.
“I’m not leaving the club in January. I’m in Galatasaray until the end of the season. I don’t know what Napoli and Galatasaray will talk about afterwards, but if they come to me, we can talk,” says one of the hottest strikers on the market.
Now there are reports that work is being done for the long term. According to Sky Sports, Galatasaray are working on manoeuvring to secure top scorer Osimhen on a permanent transfer. For the Turkish club, it is said to be close to impossible to finance a €75 million+ transfer, but according to Sky Sports, Osimhen has sent signals that he sees himself staying longer at the Turkish big club.

Initial talks are already underway, so there’s no reason to write off a surprise permanent transfer at Osimhen with some clever repayment deal that makes it possible. No one predicted that Osimhen would wear the Gala shirt on loan either, it is working well in the back room at Galatasaray.
