Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray Fight to Sign Victor Osimhen This Summer
Fenerbahçe have entered the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, a player Galatasaray are hoping to bring back this summer. Reports from Ekol Sports reveal that Fenerbahçe’s president, Ali Koç, has tabled the highest offer so far to Napoli in an attempt to lure the Nigerian forward to their squad.
Galatasaray, who had Osimhen on loan last season, are also keen to keep him permanently. The 25-year-old played a vital role in their success last season, helping the club secure both the Turkish Cup and the Super Lig title. Although Galatasaray have made their offer, they’re still waiting for Osimhen to make a final decision.
The Super Eagles star is currently on summer break and hasn’t revealed where he plans to play next season. Several top clubs across Europe and beyond are monitoring his situation. Aside from Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, Juventus, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Saudi giants Al Hilal have all shown interest.
However, sources close to Osimhen say his first option is to rejoin Galatasaray on a permanent deal, but only if a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs doesn’t materialize during this summer transfer window.
Barcelona’s newest signing, Marcus Rashford, has shared his admiration for teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, calling his performances beyond extraordinary for someone so young.
Speaking during a chat with Spanish YouTuber xBuyer in Marbella, Rashford couldn’t hide his amazement at what the 17-year-old is doing on the pitch. He said it’s hard to describe just how impressive Yamal’s talent is, noting that at his age, players aren’t usually pulling off the kind of moves Yamal makes look easy.
Rashford, who joined Barcelona on a one-season loan, reflected on his own early days in football, recalling that he didn’t break into the professional scene until he was 18. For him, watching Yamal already holding his own at the highest level is something rare and special.
Now preparing to join the squad for the new season, the England forward is excited to play alongside Yamal, saying it’s every footballer’s dream to share the field with a talent like him. He didn’t hold back in his praise, describing Yamal as “the best.”
