His remarkable performance has not only caught the attention of fans but has made people wonder his possible club moves, with several top European clubs reportedly keeping a close eye on him.
Ozcan revealed that while Galatasaray are making all effort to secure the talented forward, Osimhen has two other major clubs in mind.
“The experienced center forward currently has two other teams in mind besides Galatasaray: Juventus from Italy and Barcelona from Spain,” he stated in an interview with Sabah, as reported by habersarikirmizi.
Juventus is particularly interested in Osimhen as they navigate uncertainty surrounding Dusan Vlahovic’s future at the club.
