Osimhen Attracts Real Madrid Interest Amid Mourinho Talks

Victor Osimhen, a forward for Galatasaray, has garnered attention from Real Madrid as he approaches the end of his second season with the Turkish club, where he has scored 15 goals and provided five assists in 22 league appearances. His performance has enhanced his reputation as a sought-after striker in Europe.

Speculation regarding Osimhen's transfer has intensified over the last three summer windows, with fresh reports from Spain indicating that José Mourinho, the current coach of Benfica, is in talks with Real Madrid about a possible return to the Santiago Bernabéu. Mourinho is seen as a candidate capable of restoring calm within the team following a turbulent season.

He has been tracking Osimhen's progress since the striker's time at Napoli and has previously likened him to Didier Drogba. Meanwhile, Barcelona is also monitoring the situation, considering alternatives to Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez, who is valued at around €200 million.

Galatasaray, however, is reportedly reluctant to sell Osimhen, placing a price tag of €150 million on him.
