Victor Osimhen Nears Loan Transfer to Galatasaray Amid Injury Crisis

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward, is in talks for a loan transfer from Napoli to Turkish club Galatasaray. After being linked to various major clubs, the transfer window closed without a deal. Galatasaray needs a center forward following Mauro Icardi's injury. Osimhen scored 26 goals for Napoli in Serie A 2023.

Victor Osimhen appears to have finally secured an exit from Napoli, as negotiations for a loan deal with Turkish club Galatasaray are underway.

The Nigerian forward had previously been linked to major clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Saudi club Al-Ahli, but the recent closure of the European transfer window left him without a new team.

The Turkish league's transfer window remains open until September 13, a fortunate turn for Galatasaray, which requires immediate reinforcement at center forward following an injury to Mauro Icardi.
