Galatasaray plot blockbuster move to keep Victor Osimhen as Barcelona, Real Madrid circle

Published on by

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen could receive a significant incentive to stay at Galatasaray, as the club is planning a major transfer move this summer, Afrik-Foot reports.

​The Nigerian striker has been one of the best in the world over the last three years, and he has continued his brilliance at Galatasaray. So far for the Cimbom, Osimhen has remained a prolific force.

​In the meantime, the Super Eagles star has been attracting interest from several top clubs across Europe.

The 27-year-old striker has caught the eye of top Spanish sides such as Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid. Any of these teams could launch a bid in the summer.

For many players, these clubs are difficult to resist, as they are among the biggest, most successful, and wealthiest in the world.

​Letting Osimhen leave at this moment would be a major disappointment for Galatasaray, a club that has made giant strides in the transfer market over the last two years.

​To counter this, the Cimbom are now planning a blockbuster transfer move for the summer. If successful, Osimhen would have a compelling reason to remain with the reigning Turkish champions moving forward.

Galatasaray To Give Victor Osimhen One of The Best Creators

​According to Transfer News Live, Galatasaray are plotting a move for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

The Portuguese maestro has consistently been a top performer for the Red Devils and would provide a massive boost to the Galatasaray squad.

​The Portuguese star’s contract is approaching its final stages, and there have been no formal talks regarding a renewal just yet. Fernandes, though 31, has attracted interest from several top clubs and will face a major decision concerning his future this summer.

​Per the report, Galatasaray are willing to pay a €40 million fee for the Portuguese midfielder and match his substantial €12 million salary.

How Will Fernandes Make Victor Osimhen Stay?

​Signing Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United would be a significant transfer heist for Galatasaray. It would serve as a massive statement of intent on their part.

​For Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen, it would be a powerful incentive to remain at the club.

Fernandes has established himself as one of the premier playmakers in the world, and this season, he has been playing out of his skin.

The former Sporting CP man already has a healthy return of 18 assists this season in the Premier League alone.

​If a creator of this caliber plays alongside Osimhen, the Super Eagles star will undoubtedly be on the receiving end of numerous scoring opportunities. This would lead to a significant uptick in his goal-scoring chances.

​However, it remains to be seen whether the Cimbom can successfully finalize the deal this summer.
