Why Victor Osimhen could join Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Bayern Munich in January transfer window despite agreeing season-long Galatasaray loan deal

The Nigeria international is taking on a new challenge in Turkey after deciding to bring an end to his Serie A title-winning spell at Napoli. Osimhen has dominated gossip columns across several transfer windows, with a number of potential landing spots being speculated on.

He was linked with teams in England and Saudi Arabia over the summer, but Napoli’s demands saw no deals done. The 25-year-old will now join Galatasaray on an agreement that sees them paying all of his £176,000-a-week wage in return for stumping up no loan fee.

Osimhen has been given a raucous welcome to Turkey, but A Spor claims that he could be gone in a matter of months. That is because the Nigerian frontman has requested that a break clause be inserted in his loan contract that can be activated at the start of 2025.

It is claimed that 10 clubs will be able to trigger that clause – as Napoli drop their asking price demands to £63 million ($83m) - with Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool among those that can step in and lure a proven performer away from Istanbul. Osimhen would also welcome the opportunity to link up with Bayern talisman Harry Kane in Germany if the Bundesliga giants expressed interest.
