Victor Osimhen, the outstanding striker for Galatasaray, has been linked to a move to Barcelona, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who has denied any conversations between the two teams.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray permanently in the summer following a fruitful loan stint, has reportedly been playing exceptionally well this season. One of the best performers in the Turkish Super Lig, the Nigerian forward has already scored six goals in nine games across all competitions.
Several European teams have expressed fresh interest in him as a result of his achievements, with Barcelona apparently keeping an eye on him as they prepare for life after Robert Lewandowski. Romano stated that although Barcelona is looking into long-term attacking possibilities, Osimhen is not currently being discussed or negotiated.
Romano stated on his YouTube channel that “Barcelona is definitely looking for strikers for 2026, which is important to say because Lewandowski is out of contract and has concrete chances of leaving the club on a free.” Barcelona is searching for strikers. However, Osimhen isn’t currently negotiating or speaking with any clubs.
“Barcelona are not negotiating for Osimhen today, and Osimhen is focused on Galatasaray,” Romano continued, adding that Osimhen is still entirely focused on his current team. It is crucial to state that.
Osimhen is the greatest striker to have ever played in the Turkish Super Lig, according to Serhat Akın, a former forward for Fenerbahçe.
“Osimhen is a remarkable man. Akın told Habersarikirmizi, “I think he’s the greatest center-forward to ever grace this league.” “Icardi is a pure striker who accomplished incredible things, but if I were a manager, I would be overjoyed to have Osimhen. My ideal center-forward is him.
