The1905.Club Summary

Chelsea had considered a move for Osimhen last October, but their stance has since changed. Arsenal have been the most active in trying to secure a deal for the Nigerian forward, while Manchester United have also shown interest in the past. Napoli had initially valued Osimhen at €120m but dropped their asking price to €75m, yet no club has matched that figure. With Galatasaray’s offer being rejected, Osimhen is expected to remain in Turkey until the summer, when a bidding war could ensue for his signature.

Key Points

  • Napoli rejected a €65m bid from Galatasaray for Victor Osimhen.
  • Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have all previously shown interest in the striker.
  • Napoli originally valued Osimhen at €120m but lowered their asking price to €75m.
  • No club has yet met the €75m valuation, meaning Osimhen is set to stay in Turkey for now.
