Galatasaray have confirmed they are in talks with Napoli to sign Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen on loan.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old had been a target for Premier League Chelsea before the English transfer window closed on Friday and also Saudi club Al-Ahli – but he looks set to move to Istanbul instead.<\/p>\n

Osimhen has scored 76 goals in 133 games for Napoli and played a key role in their 2022-23 Serie A title win with 26 goals.<\/p>\n

But he failed to maintain the explosive form that made him one of the most coveted strikers in Europe, scoring 15 times in Serie A last season.<\/p>\n

Antonio Conte’s Napoli signed Chelsea and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, 31, for \u00a330m last week. <\/p>\n

A message from Galatasaray on social media read: “Official negotiations have begun with the football player and his club SSCN Napoli SPA regarding the temporary transfer of professional footballer Victor James Osimhen.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
