Fenerbahce, one of Turkey’s top football clubs, has entered the race to sign Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Serie A’s Napoli. This move comes after Fenerbahce’s manager, José Mourinho, urged the club’s management to make a serious push for Osimhen, emphasizing the need to strengthen the team’s attacking lineup.
Portuguese outlet O Jogo reports that Mourinho is eager to add Osimhen to his squad, and Fenerbahce is ready to engage in talks with Napoli to explore a potential transfer. This highlights the club’s ambition to compete at the highest level in the Turkish Super Lig.
Osimhen has impressed since his loan move to Galatasaray in September, showcasing his outstanding goal-scoring abilities. His performances have captivated fans and drawn attention from top European clubs, including Chelsea. There have also been rumors of lucrative offers coming from Saudi Arabian clubs, which could complicate his future.
Despite only recently joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has quickly bonded with the club’s supporters. His commitment was particularly evident after his standout performance in an Istanbul derby against Besiktas, where he scored a crucial brace.
As the transfer window approaches in January, Osimhen’s future will be under the spotlight, with significant offers on the table. The decision will require careful consideration from Osimhen, his representatives, and Napoli, particularly if any tempting financial opportunities arise.
