It is now a straight fight between Manchester United and Arsenalfor Victor Osimhen after the Nigeria striker rejected Juventus.
According to multiple sources in Italy on Wednesday, including Il Mattino and Radio Kiss, Osimhen has definitively rejected a summer move to Juventus.
However, the Italian media claim that the Napoli-owned striker has communicated to Juventus that he is not interested in a move to Turin.
Osimhen to Man Utd or Arsenal
This means that Osimhen’s next destination is likely to be either Man Utd or Arsenal, both of whom are in the market for a top number nine themselves.
Although the reports claim there is also interest from PSG, the two Premier League giants are seen as the realistic options.
Galatasaray would love to sign Osimhen permanently, too, but cannot afford him.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray last summer on loan for the season from Napoli until June 2025.
It is a dry loan with Galatasaray simply covering his salary from September until June at a cost of €10 million.
He has enjoyed a fantastic season with Galatasaray, scoring 36 goals in all competitions and winning the league.
Osimhen will return to Napoli at the end of the season and then leave the club permanently.
The 26-year-old has a release clause in his Napoli contract worth €75 million, for foreign clubs only.
He has no future at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after falling out with the club last year.
