Atletico Madrid Joins Race to Sign Victor Osimhen

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen continues to shine after his move to Galatasaray. He has scored 59 goals in 74 appearances and won back-to-back league titles plus a domestic cup. While Barcelona remains a leading contender for his signature, Atletico Madrid have lodged formal enquiries as a contingency plan in case Julián Álvarez departs. Diego Simeone’s side are ready to reinvest any Alvarez fee to land the Nigerian forward. Galatasaray are expected to demand well over €100 million for Osimhen, who joined them for €75 million from Napoli. Competition is fierce, with Real Madrid, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and a resurgent Barcelona also monitoring his situation. A move to Madrid would see Osimhen reunite with teammate Ademola Lookman. But navigating transfer fees and rival bids will make securing his signature a major summer challenge.
