Galatasaray has announced that they are negotiating with Napoli for the loan of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
The 25-year-old was previously a target for Chelsea in the Premier League before the transfer window closed, as well as Saudi club Al-Ahli, but he appears to be heading to Istanbul instead.
Osimhen has netted 76 goals in 133 appearances for Napoli and was instrumental in their Serie A championship victory in the 2022-23 season, contributing 26 goals.
However, he struggled to maintain his previous high level of performance, finishing last season with 15 goals in Serie A.
