Osimhen recently rejected Al-Hilal’s offer to join Simone Inzaghi’s side ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup, although the Saudi Pro League outfit are set to propose a contract worth €50 million-per-year in a bid to convince Osimhen to change his mind.

Meanwhile, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United lead the Premier League’s interest in the 26-year-old, and Juventus are determined to sign him as a replacement for Serbia international Dusan Vlahovic, who continues to be linked with an exit.

Galatasaray want to purchase Osimhen on a permanent deal too, following a successful loan spell at the club last season, although it remains to be seen if he will opt to return to Istanbul this summer.

Victor Osimhen responds to transfer rumours

Amid significant rumours of a summer move, Osimhen has now officially confirmed that he is being pursued by several clubs during an interview with YouTuber Daddy Freeze.

“It’s always like this when the season ends and the summer transfer window begins,” Osimhen admitted (via Daily Post Nigeria).

“You have a lot of clubs wanting your services, but right now, I’m focused on my holiday and enjoying myself.

“While I’m enjoying my break, I’m also reminiscing about the past season I had with Galatasaray - watching clips of my goals, the mistakes I made, and the things I did well.”

Osimhen scored 37 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions for Galatasaray last season and he helped the club clinch their third consecutive Super Lig title.
