All the latest news, rumours and gossip on Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen as major clubs continue to chase the prolific striker.
Galatasaray record offer
Galatasaray's Vice President Abdullah Kavukcu has confirmed that the club are ready to make a record breaking offer to keep the player at the club permanently.
Osimhen's loan at Galatasaray ends next month and he will then return to Napoli, but the Turks are ready to pay his €75 million release clause and give him the same salary on offer in other leagues.

“We talked to my president about Osimhen in January,” Kavukcu said, per A Spor.
“We told Osimhen in January, ‘We want you very much, don't go anywhere. We are working to get your transfer.'
“We are developing projects for this. We developed them to sit at that table and we are at that table right now. We are ready to get his transfer and pay the salaries he will receive from Europe.”
Man Utd pull out of Osimhen race
These salary demands of Osimhen have proved too high even for a club as rich as Manchester United.
Osimhen is asking for €475,000 per week from his new club.
However, GiveMeSport reports that these wage demands are considered far too high by Man Utd.
As a result they have dropped out of the race and will focus on other targets instead such as Ipswich Town's Liam Delap.
Juventus sacrifice stars to make bid
Juventus are poised to push hard to sign Osimhen from Napoli, with the Serie A giants ready to make a “maximum” bid for the Nigeria international striker, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Juve do not have the luxury of being able to trigger the striker’s release clause, which is worth €75 million. This is only valid for foreign clubs, such as Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United.
As such, the Bianconeri are ready to offer up to €85m. It is stated that €75m of this will be an upfront fee with €10m following as bonuses.
Juventus want to fund this deal by selling Dusan Vlahovic, who they hope will fetch €40-50m in the open market.
Igor Tudor’s side are ready to allow Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceicao to return to parent clubs PSG and Porto in a bid to channel their resources towards signing Osimhen, who is seen as their absolute priority.
Conte to follow Osimhen to Juventus
Osimhen isn’t the only Napoli star that Juventus want; they also want head coach Antonio Conte in their dugout next season, according to Alfredo Pedulla.
Juve will hold an internal meeting at the beginning of June to decide whether to persist with Tudor or target Conte.
The Turin club are willing to push for both the coach and the player, with Max Allegri likeliest to replace the former Chelsea and Tottenham boss at Napoli should he depart.
