Victor Osimhen finds himself at the heart of a new soap opera. Loaned to Galatasaray by Naples, the Nigerian striker scored 18 goals in Süper Lig, awakening European lusts. But it is in Italy that his future is played out now. Juventus, determined to bypass the € 75 million clause, is betting on a daring offer: an exchange including Federico Gatti, a appreciated defender of Antonio Conte. A scenario that could satisfy Naples, while PSG, after months of rumors, now looks from far away.
A cascade transfer window for Osimhen
To avoid paying the liberating clause, Juventus offers an amount of cash combined from Federico Gatti. A strategic choice: Antonio Conte, new coach of Naples, sees this 26 -year -old defender an ideal profile for his defense. “Gatti embodies the aggressiveness and sacrifice that Conte requires”,
Explains an observer from Serie A. Naples, open to negotiation, prefers this option to a simple check, thus avoiding strengthening a Turkish rival.
Galatasaray, the illusion fades
In Istanbul, the hope of keeping Osimhen is falling. Despite Nigerian's performances, the Turkish club struggles to compete with the Offer of Juve. “We know that Victor deserves an ambitious project. Serie A is a springboard ”says a source close to the player. Galatasaray could fall back on other targets, lack of sufficient budget to remove the purchase option.
PSG: a turned page
A year ago, PSG dreamed of Osimhen to replace Mbappé. But the Parisian project has evolved. Under Luis Enrique, the club now favors versatile and young profiles, such as Désiré Doué or Bradley Barcola. The former Lille does not therefore correspond to the priorities of the champions of France. And the reciprocal is also true. The Nigerian seems to have turned the page.
