giants, Galatasaray are reportedly prepared to include Turkish winger, Yunus Akgün plus a cash sum in their bid to secure Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal.

The Super Eagles attacker secured a long-season loan deal away from Napoli to Turkey following a denting relationship with the Neapolitan management.

However, the Nigerian has made a positive impression in his move to Istanbul by scoring six goals and making three assists in his last eight games for Okan Buruk’s men.

To secure Osimhen on a permanent deal, circulating in the Turkish media suggests that Galatasaray are looking to entice Napoli with a cash-and-player deal with Akgün in the deal to secure Osimhen.

The Turkish attacker has reportedly drawn interest from Manchester United following an impressive Europa League campaign where he topped the goalscoring chart with four goals.

However, reports from Sabah also suggest that Napoli have entered the race for Akgün and may make an official bid during the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, Premiership club Chelsea, and Galatasaray’s bitter city rivals Fenerbache, are also keen to sign him permanently.

Reports further said Chelsea will now launch a second bid for the striker after they failed to sign him in January.

The transfer scramble for ‘Osi’ has now taken another twist with a report that Fenerbache plan to submit a 50 Million Euros bid for the striker.

Portuguese news outlet O Jogo said Fenerbache mean business after Galatasaray achieved a major world transfer coup in January by signing Osimhen on loan from Napoli.
