Victor Osimhen remains a key player to watch in the next transfer window after rejecting multiple offers in favor of completing the season on loan at Galatasaray. Despite strong interest from Chelsea, Al Ahli, and PSG, the Nigerian forward opted for a full-season loan with the reigning Turkish champions.
However, his loan deal includes a break clause, allowing him to leave if a top club makes an approach, as reported by sports journalist Fabrizio Romano. Despite this, Osimhen has assured Galatasaray that he intends to finish the season with them.
With the January transfer window open, interest from Manchester United and Juventus has surfaced. Buchi Laba, a journalist closely linked to Nigerian player transfers, confirmed that Man United, Juventus, and Liverpool had inquired about Osimhen’s availability. However, the 26-year-old reportedly chose to honor his commitment to Galatasaray, not wanting to "disrespect" the club.
Buchi Laba was also the first to break the news of Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray, which was later confirmed by Fabrizio Romano’s famous "here we go" announcement.
Kelechi Iheanacho to Middlesbrough: Here We Go!
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Kelechi Iheanacho has completed a six-month loan move to Championship side Middlesbrough. The Nigerian striker has struggled for form since joining Sevilla on a free transfer from Leicester City.
His dip in form has not only affected his club performance but has also led to debates among Nigerian fans about whether he still deserves a Super Eagles call-up. However, this move to Middlesbrough could be a turning point in reviving "Senior Man Kelz."
Samuel Chukwueze to Fulham?
According to Fabrizio Romano, Premier League side Fulham has made inquiries about AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze. The 25-year-old recently scored against Parma to complete a comeback after returning from injury but has struggled for game time at Milan.
At Villarreal, Chukwueze was a key playmaker and the top assist provider during their Europa League-winning campaign. However, since moving to AC Milan, he has played second fiddle to Christian Pulisic. With Milan also signing João Félix on loan, his chances of regular playing time have further diminished.
A move to Fulham could offer Chukwueze more opportunities, especially with Super Eagles teammates Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey already at the club. Considering his impressive performances during Nigeria’s 2015 U-17 World Cup victory and his time at Villarreal, a Premier League switch might be his shot at redemption.
Let’s wait and see what happens next!
