Looking for a world-class goalscorer to compete with Viktor Gyökeres on the London attacking front, Arsenal had set their sights on Victor Osimhen. But despite interest from the English war machine, the Nigerian international did not follow up on British advances. Refusing to lower his stratospheric salary estimated at more than 20 million euros net per year, the 27-year-old player has favored economic comfort that is almost impossible to find today on the Old Continent. Faced with this intransigence, the London management quickly felt the tide turning. Aware of the extreme complexity of the matter, Arsenal managers took care to redirect the shot in the direction of Julián Álvarez, the highly sought-after Argentinian international striker from Atletico Madrid.
This game of musical chairs is in any case the business of Galatasaray. If he keeps his emoluments in solid gold, Victor Osimhen was convinced by the crazy ambitions of his management, majestically symbolized by the more than probable arrival of AC Milan star Rafael Leão in Turkey. A future fiery association which is already making the fiery Istanbul supporters salivate, especially since the native of Lagos is currently walking on water. With a staggering record of 4 goals and an assist in just two games since the restart, the former serial scorer for Napoli and LOSC is off to an extremely high start. Comforted in his choice to stay on the banks of the Bosphorus, the Super Eagle intends to crush everything in his path this season to guide the Turkish big name to the summits, both in the Süper Lig and in the Champions League.
