Chelsea’s Hopes for Victor Osimhen Boosted Amid Potential Loan Move to Galatasaray
Chelsea may have received a glimmer of hope in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen, despite the striker nearing a loan move to Galatasaray.
The Blues were reportedly interested in acquiring Osimhen during the summer transfer window, but the deal did not materialize as he remained with Napoli after the window closed.
Now, with the Turkish transfer window open until September 18, there are strong reports, including from Fabrizio Romano, suggesting that Osimhen is close to joining Galatasaray on a loan deal until the end of the season.
This move comes after Napoli manager Antonio Conte, who previously managed Chelsea, confirmed that Osimhen was no longer in the club’s plans.
The potential loan move to Galatasaray might give Chelsea hope of securing Osimhen in the future. If the Nigerian striker performs well in Turkey, or if Napoli continues to exclude him from their long-term plans, Chelsea could revisit the possibility of signing him either in the January transfer window or next summer.
While nothing is guaranteed, Osimhen’s situation at Napoli and the temporary nature of his potential move to Galatasaray could open the door for Chelsea to make a move in the future if their interest remains strong.
