Galatasaray Addresses Osimhen Transfer Rumors Amid Interest

Galatasaray has reacted to transfer rumors involving their striker Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with Spanish clubs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Osimhen, who is currently on loan from Napoli, had a successful spell during the 2024-25 season, scoring 37 goals and providing four assists.

The Turkish club views Osimhen as a stopgap solution amid ongoing transfer challenges with Napoli. Both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have shown interest in signing him as they seek replacements for their strikers, Julian Alvarez and Robert Lewandowski, respectively.

Reports suggest that Osimhen is unhappy with the support from Galatasaray fans, with claims of his weekly salary being around 400,000, which the club has denied. Despite these rumors, Osimhen has been performing well, scoring in his last six matches, including a notable contribution to a 5-1 victory over Eyupspor on February 13, 2026.

Previous interest from Juventus and Galatasaray's reluctance to sell to rivals have reignited speculation about Osimhen's future.
