Victor Osimhen Snubs Manchester United and Arsenal, Keeps Chelsea Option Open

As the summer transfer window heats up, Victor Osimhen’s next destination remains a major talking point across Europe. After a prolific loan spell at Galatasaray—where he scored an astonishing 37 goals in 41 appearances and helped the club retain the Super Lig title—the Nigerian striker has reportedly made a key decision. According to reports, Osimhen has rejected transfer approaches from both Manchester United and Arsenal, narrowing his Premier League options to Chelsea.

Financial incentives appear to be a major factor in his decision-making. Turkish media outlet Sabah claims Galatasaray have offered him £12.8 million per year in wages along with £8.5 million in sponsorship deals, while Saudi club Al-Hilal are said to have tabled a staggering £42.6 million annual offer. Osimhen is still contracted to Napoli, but a return seems unlikely due to his fallout with manager Antonio Conte.
