Victor Osimhen’s transfer future remains uncertain, with several top clubs vying for his signature. The Nigerian striker’s family is reportedly not keen on a move to Saudi Arabia, which might explain why he rejected Al Hilal’s lucrative offer.
This development has sparked speculation about his potential return to Galatasaray, where he had a successful loan spell last season.
Osimhen scored 37 goals in 41 appearances for Galatasaray, helping the club secure UEFA Champions League football for next season.
According to Turkish football pundit Murat Özbostan, “Osimhen’s family is not keen on Arabia. I think his chances of staying at Galatasaray are around 60%. Galatasaray made their offer and then waited. I think the Galatasaray management is being very generous.”

Several top clubs are interested in signing Osimhen, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal. Chelsea’s participation in the Champions League could give them an edge in the transfer race. “Osimhen is not closing the door to Galatasaray either, but he has not made a clear decision. He is still confused,” Özbostan added.
Osimhen’s priorities seem to be legacy and sporting challenges over financial gain, which might influence his decision.
