The Victor Osimhen transfer saga had Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain heavily linked with the Nigerian striker throughout the summer window. Now rediscovering his 2022-23 form, Osimhen could attract even more interest from top clubs when the 2025 market opens.
After a permanent move from Napoli fell through, the 25-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan, where he’s been in impressive form. So far this season, he’s tallied eight goals and five assists in 11 appearances for the Turkish side.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that Osimhen’s release clause is set at around €80 million in January, potentially dropping to €70 million next summer.
Chelsea won’t revisit the Victor Osimhen file in January?
The Athletic’s Simon Johnson reports that Chelsea have ruled out a January move for Osimhen. The Premier League club are satisfied with their current group and have no plans for major additions in the upcoming transfer window.

Recently, Ruleta Sport reporter Gerardo Fasano is turning his focus to Victor Osimhen as they look to strengthen their attack under new manager Ruben Amorim.
“Manchester United would be on the trail of Victor Osimhen,” Fasano said. “They have told me that the English, through coach Amorim, could include the ex-Bologna attacker Zirkzee in the deal for Osimhen.
“Zirkzee could help Lukaku find himself again. Money plus Zirkzee for Osimhen. Amorim has understood that Sporting could ask too much for Gyokeres and he is testing the waters for Osimhen.”
