Arsenal have been linked with a potential January move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as revealed earlier by Sports Buddy, who has been on loan at Galatasaray since September 2024.

The striker had previously been in talks with clubs like Al-Ahli, PSG, and Chelsea, but negotiations with these clubs fell through before his loan move to the Turkish giants.

According to Football Italia Osimhen’s current contract with Napoli runs until June 2026, but the Italian club extended his agreement by an additional year, which includes a clause allowing him to leave for €75m next summer.

However, if Arsenal or any other club wishes to secure him in January, the release fee rises to €90m, as Galatasaray is entitled to a portion of the transfer fee should Osimhen leave during the winter window.

The Likelihood of a January Transfer

Despite Arsenal’s reported interest, a January transfer seems unlikely, as Galatasaray’s management has emphasized that Osimhen will stay at the club until the end of the current season.

Earlier reports suggested that Osimhen had rejected an opportunity to join Manchester United in the winter transfer window, further complicating the chances of a mid-season transfer.
