Atlético Madrid are closely monitoring Galatasaray 27-year-old centre-forward Victor Osimhen for a summer transfer.

It is claimed that the Madrid club will seek to sign the player at the end of the season, and coach Diego Simeone has reportedly approved adding the Nigerian forward, who has 52 caps for his country, to the transfer list.

The Spanish club may first consider offers for Alexander Sörloth, and if a sale is profitable, they could act more quickly to sign Osimhen. The potential fee Atlético Madrid might offer is currently unspecified.

The player’s decision will be decisive in the transfer, as he had previously rejected major European clubs to sign a permanent deal with Galatasaray in the summer transfer window.

Osimhen has scored nine goals in 15 Süper Lig appearances this season and has also been linked with other clubs, including Juventus, Manchester United, and Chelsea.

His contract with the Turkish club runs until 2029. Recent reports from October 2025 and January 2026 state that Galatasaray has set an asking price of €140 million.

The Turkish champions reportedly signed him for €75 million.

Like it was last year, the Super Eagles again did not get paid for their efforts in a commendable comeback-draw with Russia.

Russia splashed out $1.2 million in June 2025 to get Nigeria play against them in a first-ever meeting at full international level.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw with striker Tolu Arokodare scoring the equaliser for the Super Eagles.

This week, the Eagles, parading a makeshift team made up of as many as nine debutants, fought back to draw 3-3 with home team Russia.

It was understood that the NFF received $600,000 to honour this friendly.

The team did not receive even an appearance fee.

“Again no kobo was paid the team and there were no promises of anything going forward.” a source informed SCORENigeria
