Serie A giants enter race for Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen could be set for a sensational return to Serie A after a new team entered the race for his signature.

Serie A giants have reportedly registered an ambitious interest in Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as they look to bolster their offensive ranks. 

The 25-year-old is currently on loan at Galatasaray, but that is not expected to turn into a permanent situation, as the Napoli hierarchy has stated explicitly that the Turkish champions cannot afford the Nigerian, and they do not plan on budging on the €75 million release clause. 

They also added that the former Royal Charleroi forward has concrete offers from a number of European clubs. A report from Turkey today suggests that AC Milan could be one such club.

Milan in for Osimhen 

According to a report from Turkish publication ntvspor.net, Galatasaray are still intent on signing the CAF Player of the Year on a permanent deal and are now worried about the entry of a new player into the race: AC Milan.

According to the report, the Rossoneri, who only recently acquired Alvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham, are still in the market for a striker and are keen on the former Cappocannoiere winner. 

However, given the strong ties Osimhen has with Napolitanos, it is unlikely he will sign for another Italian team. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, who recently pulled out of the race for Viktor Gyokeres, are believed to be the most likely destinations.
