Transfer: Osimhen could join Chelsea, Arsenal in January

Although Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is set to join Galatasaray on loan, he could still join Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool in January.

A Spor reports that he could be gone in a matter of months.

That is because the Nigerian frontman has requested that a break clause be inserted in his loan contract that can be activated at the start of 2025.

It is claimed that 10 clubs will be able to trigger that clause – as Napoli drop their asking price demands to £63 million ($83m) – with Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool among those that can step in and lure a proven performer away from Istanbul.

Osimhen would also welcome the opportunity to link up with Bayern talisman Harry Kane in Germany if the Bundesliga giants expressed interest.

The Nigeria international is taking on a new challenge in Turkey after deciding to bring an end to his Serie A title-winning spell at Napoli.

Osimhen has dominated gossip columns across several transfer windows, with a number of potential landing spots being speculated on.

He was linked with teams in England and Saudi Arabia over the summer, but Napoli’s demands saw no deals done.

The 25-year-old will now join Galatasaray on an agreement that sees them paying all of his £176,000-a-week wage in return for stumping up no loan fee.
