Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker, Victor James Osimhen, might not leave Napoli this summer despite interest from several European top-five league clubs, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 26-year-old attempted to exit the Serie A giants at the start of the season, but his asking price was way too much for any of his suitors to pay outright. Instead, he joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan.

Osimhen’s time in Turkey has seen interest in him soar again after he scored 36 goals and provided eight assists in 40 games for Galatasaray.

Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Al-Hilal have been linked with the Napoli loanee, but with the summer transfer window approaching, Osimhen’s €75m release clause has yet to be met by any of the interested clubs.

According to ESPN, Osimhen rejected Juventus’ offer because he is set on a place in the English Premier League, but it is highly doubtful the move will happen.

As per II Mattino, Napoli might have to reduce their asking price to sell Osimhen, as the clubs interested in the former VfL Wolfsburg man have other options, which are cheaper too.

Arsenal are strongly linked to Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres, while Manchester United are set to move for Matheus Cunha of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liam Delap of Ipswich Town. Chelsea are looking to offload Cristopher Nkunku, and are the likeliest destination for Osimhen, but there have been no official contacts.

Whatever happens, Osimhen has made his time at Galatasaray worthwhile, winning the Turkish Super Cup and the Turkish Super Lig titles.
