Atlético Madrid have become the latest club to show interest in Victor Osimhen after reportedly making inquiries about the Galatasaray striker as they prepare for a major summer shake-up in the transfer window, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Spanish club are monitoring the situation of the Nigerian in Turkey following the uncertain future of their striker, Julián Álvarez, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal.
Álvarez was previously reported to be on the radar of Barcelona, but the Catalan club have cooled their interest due to the player’s hefty €100m valuation.
However, there is renewed interest in the Argentine from Arsenal, prompting Atlético to seek a potential replacement in Osimhen, who has been enjoying a prolific spell in Turkey.
The Nigerian joined Galatasaray last summer and has flourished at Rams Park. Across two seasons, he has registered 59 goals and 16 assists in 74 appearances in all competitions.
