Real Madrid Eye Victor Osimhen in €100m+ Deal to Strengthen Attack and Free Mbappé

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a transfer exceeding €100 million to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray, aiming to bolster their attack and allow Kylian Mbappé to return to his natural position on the left wing. The Spanish giants are seeking a proven goalscorer with a physical presence in the penalty area, and Osimhen has emerged as a top target for next season, according to reports from Fichajes.

Fichajes highlights that Real Madrid are looking for “a pure striker who can provide finishing, pace, and consistency,” describing Osimhen as a perfect fit due to his power, aggression, and natural scoring instincts, which align with the club’s attacking philosophy. His contract situation and high profile at Galatasaray have intensified Madrid’s interest, with the club now reportedly prioritizing his signing.

The proposed move would also allow Mbappé to reclaim the left flank that has defined his most productive years while giving Real Madrid a clear central focal point in attack. Negotiations are expected to be challenging, as Galatasaray, who spent €75 million to sign Osimhen from Napoli, will likely demand a financial return that reflects his impact. The deal is anticipated to exceed €100 million, particularly if other top European clubs enter the race, making Osimhen potentially one of the most lucrative transfers of the market.

Reports further suggest that the transfer could be accelerated by the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Vinicius Junior, who has indicated he will not renew his contract until certain changes are made at the club. Coupled with his strained relationship with coach Alonso, this may open the left-wing for Mbappé and central space for Osimhen. Fichajes notes that the signing would also boost LaLiga’s global profile, increase pressure on domestic rivals, and create ripple effects across the European transfer market.
