Fresh uncertainty has emerged over the future of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray, with reports suggesting the Nigerian forward is facing increasing pressure to leave the Turkish champions before the transfer window closes.
The latest developments come after Osimhen revealed that the club has not paid his salaries for the past three months, raising fresh questions about his long-term future in Turkey.
Tensions reportedly became more visible during Galatasaray’s 3-3 pre-season friendly draw against Rennes on Sunday, when Osimhen declined to wear the captain’s armband after it was offered to him.
The incident has fueled speculation that the relationship between the striker and the club may have become strained.
The uncertainty has also reignited interest from several European clubs looking to secure the services of the prolific Nigerian international.
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur submitted an offer worth around €60 million, but Galatasaray turned down the proposal.
Premier League side Chelsea are also said to have renewed their interest in signing Osimhen, while Atletico Madrid have reportedly made enquiries about the striker’s salary at the Turkish club.
Reports further claim that Osimhen’s representative recently travelled to Madrid to hold discussions over a possible transfer.
With only a few weeks left in the transfer window, the 27-year-old’s future remains one of the biggest talking points, as Europe’s top clubs continue to monitor his situation.
