EL CLASSICO: SPANISH GIANTS BARCA TO BATTLE REAL MADRID FOR THE SIGNATURE OF VICTOR OSIMHEN.

After an unexpected loan move to Galatasaray last year, Osimhen has dominated the Turkish league, netting 29 goals in just 33 appearances across all competitions.

Per Diario AS, Barcelona view Osimhen as a possible long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski. While the club still plans to rely on the Polish star next season, they’re exploring strategic signings to bolster their attack.

 

Osimhen's red-hot streak in Istanbul has European heavyweights on alert, setting the stage for a summer bidding war between Spain's Clásico rivals. The Super Eagles star has been tearing up the Süper Lig since his shock loan move, racking up an impressive 29-goal tally in just 33 outings.

 

While Barcelona still consider Lewandowski their main man, AS reports the Blaugrana have identified the Nigerian hitman as prime attacking reinforcement - with eternal rivals Real also circling for what promises to be one of the summer's hottest transfers.

 

Osimhen appears destined for an exit following his irreparable rift with the management at parent club Napoli. This escalating tension could force a cut-price deal, with Napoli eager to cash in on their disgruntled star.

 

The race for his signature is heating up: while Barcelona see him as ideal attacking reinforcement, Real Madrid have entered the fray as potential suitors. According to Fichajes, Los Blancos view the prolific Nigerian as their prime candidate should Vinicius Junior complete his anticipated mega-money move to Saudi Arabia – a transfer that could rewrite football's financial record books under Florentino Perez's approval.

 

The Santiago Bernabéu could witness a seismic transfer shake-up as club officials reportedly weigh the unthinkable - parting ways with Vinicius Junior following Kylian Mbappé's arrival. Sources indicate the French superstar's preferred left-wing position has sparked internal debates about the Brazilian's long-term role, potentially paving the way for a record-shattering €300m (£255m) move to Saudi Arabia.

 

Should Vinicius Junior complete his blockbuster Saudi exit, Real Madrid have reportedly marked Victor Osimhen as their top attacking target. The Nigerian marksman could be secured for a relative bargain at €72m (£62m) – a fee easily financed by the expected windfall from Vinicius' departure.

Complicating matters, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is determined to thwart any domestic move, specifically ruling out a transfer to Juventus despite the Turin club's strong interest in the prolific striker.

 

“No! Never at Juventus,” Aurelio said on Radio Kiss Kiss via Calciomercato.

 

The battle for Victor Osimhen's signature has intensified, with Manchester United and Arsenal emerging as serious contenders from England's top flight. However, Chelsea have reportedly cooled their interest, opting instead to prioritize alternatives like Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško.

 

With 0.66 goal contributions per game in Naples plus a league-winning campaign, Osimhen's consistent output has Spanish giants prepared for a €70m+ bidding war this summer.
