Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly attracting more interest from at least eight major clubs in recent days, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.
According to transfer experts Valentin Furlan and Rudy Galetti, the clubs have made contact to better understand the striker’s current transfer status as competition for his signature intensifies.
The Nigerian striker has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in the current transfer window, with clubs from across Europe vying for his services. Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal were reported to have tabled a lucrative offer worth up to €45 million per season in hopes of signing him ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, but Osimhen turned it down, signalling a clear preference to remain in European football.
This development has prompted renewed interest from several European heavyweights as Real Madrid, under new head coach Xabi Alonso, are exploring attacking reinforcements, Manchester United are planning a reshaped frontline, while PSG are looking to bolster their squad following a historic treble-winning campaign.

Galatasaray are also keen to secure Osimhen’s services on a permanent basis. The Turkish champions are still in talks after the striker’s impressive loan stint last season, during which he played a key role in their domestic double triumph.
In addition to the aforementioned clubs, Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus, and Chelsea have also reached out in recent days. Chelsea, notably, were close to landing Osimhen last summer and remain interested in revisiting the deal if they can let go some of the current options within their squad.
Rudy Galetti notes that Osimhen views Champions League football as a crucial factor in determining his next move. This effectively reduces the chances of AC Milan and Manchester United signing the Nigerian striker, as both clubs failed to secure qualification—finishing 8th and 15th in their respective domestic leagues.
