Rumours surrounding Victor Osimhen's future are gaining momentum as the season draws to a close.

The 26-year-old has become one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe following his exceptional form for Galatasaray.

After an explosive campaign, in which the Nigerian striker has scored 36 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions, Osimhen is expected to leave Turkey after the current season.

The Nigerian international is reportedly set to make a big European move next summer, with Premier League clubs showing interest in securing his signature.

Amid speculation over Osimhen's future, Turkish media outlet Halk TV reports that Napoli has rejected Galatasaray’s initial €60 million bid for the former African Footballer of the Year.

The Partenopei have also reportedly declined Fenerbahçe’s offer for the former Lille striker, as revealed by Turkish broadcaster TRT’s Barış Yurduseven, who indicated that the Turkish club attempted to spread the payment across four years.

Osimhen has guided Galatasaray to a domestic double, winning both the Süper Lig and the Turkish Cup.
