Back in Naples after a successful loan in Naples, Victor Osimhen could be heading to Real Madrid this summer, as the Madrid club has targeted the Nigerian forward to strengthen their attack.
The race to secure Victor Osimhen’s services is intensifying. According to the Spanish media outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid is now seriously interested in the Nigerian forward.
Long courted by Al Hilal, the Saudi giant seemed to be in pole position to sign the 26-year-old striker. An ultimatum was even set for this Wednesday, June 5th, to get a definitive answer from the former Lille player. Without success. The Saudi club is now turning to other options ahead of the upcoming Club World Cup.
While Galatasaray desperately hopes to keep its prolific scorer beyond the summer, several major European clubs are also closely following the case. Real Madrid, riding a wave of victory, reportedly put Osimhen’s name at the top of their summer shortlist. New coach Xabi Alonso, eager to strengthen his offensive lineup, sees him as the ideal profile to complete his attack.
Scoring 37 goals across all competitions this season in the colors of the Turkish club, Osimhen has confirmed his status as a world-class striker. A long-time admirer, Alonso particularly appreciates the Super Eagle’s athletic power, incisive runs, and clinical finishing. The Osimhen saga is just beginning, and suitors won’t be lacking by the end of summer.
