AC Milan, a former Italian Serie A powerhouse, made an effort to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window but ultimately failed. The saga surrounding Osimhen's potential transfer was a major talking point throughout the recently concluded transfer period.
Osimhen, who has impressed with his performances for Napoli over the past three seasons, was a hot property in Europe. The 25-year-old forward attracted interest from several top clubs, including Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea. Even Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli showed strong interest in acquiring the Nigerian star, but none were successful in securing his services.
With the transfer window closing, Napoli was unwilling to reintegrate Osimhen into their squad, which left him seeking opportunities outside the top five European leagues. Shortly after the major transfer windows closed, Osimhen completed a loan move to Galatasaray, the reigning champions of the Turkish Super Lig, for the upcoming season.
Osimhen made his debut for Galatasaray last week and is expected to play a crucial role in their quest to defend their Super Lig title. The move comes as a significant opportunity for the Nigerian striker to showcase his talents on a new stage.
In a recent turn of events, AC Milan attempted to lure Osimhen to their side. Zlatan Ibrahimović, now serving as a senior advisor at Milan, reached out to both Napoli and Osimhen to discuss a potential loan move. However, the deal fell through, likely due to Napoli's reluctance to let their star player join a close rival.
Despite the failed transfer attempt, Osimhen's impressive form could pave the way for a major move in the future. If he continues to perform well and score goals for Galatasaray, he may attract even more interest next summer.
For now, Osimhen is focused on making a significant impact at Galatasaray, aiming to contribute to their success in the Turkish Super Lig.
