The future of Victor Osimhen is once again one of the summer’s most talked-about transfer sagas.
After scoring 37 goals during a sensational loan spell at Galatasaray, the Super Eagles striker is back at Napoli, but his time there looks to be up. With Napoli unwilling to keep him, and Osimhen determined to stay in Europe, a transfer looks inevitable.
With several clubs are in the mix, here’s a breakdown of the leading contenders to sign the Super Eagles star man, and the odds for each at Bet9ja.

Any Saudi Team – 2.50
Al-Hilal haven’t given up. Despite Osimhen already rejecting a move earlier this summer, the Saudi giants remain the favourites in the betting markets thanks to their financial firepower.
A renewed push is already underway. Reports claim new manager Simone Inzaghi has personally reached out to Osimhen, while a staggering €160 million offer over four years is on the table, potentially making him one of the highest-paid footballers on the planet.
Al-Hilal are also the only club willing to meet Napoli’s €75m release clause. But as long as Osimhen insists on staying in Europe, the Saudis may need to wait.
Galatasaray – 2.85
This is the move that makes sense emotionally and professionally. Galatasaray gave Osimhen a platform last season – and he repaid them in goals, glory and a league-and-cup double.
Now they want him back permanently. Talks are ongoing, and the Turkish club have reportedly urged Osimhen’s camp to make a decision by early July. The challenge? Napoli’s asking price, which may be beyond Gala’s reach.
Still, the connection is there. Osimhen knows the club, the fans love him, and Galatasaray are serious about making it work.
Juventus – 6.00
Juventus are rebuilding – and Osimhen is firmly on their radar. Despite also chasing Jonathan David and a permanent move for loanee Randal Kolo Muani, Juve have stayed in touch with Osimhen’s representatives and are reportedly weighing up a move.
With Serie A rivals Napoli reluctant to sell domestically, this won’t be straightforward. But Juve’s strong performance in the Club World Cup could help sway the striker’s thinking.

Much could depend on whether they move quickly or let other targets take priority.
Manchester United – 7.00
United’s summer rebuild is underway – and adding a proven, world-class No.9 is on the agenda. Osimhen ticks every box: strong, fast, clinical, and available.
The challenge is United’s lack of European football and the club’s tighter transfer budget. That’s why a swap deal could emerge – potentially involving out-of-favour stars like Jadon Sancho or Rasmus Højlund, both of whom Napoli reportedly admire.
Whether United have the pull and financial structure to get this done remains to be seen, but they’re a name that won’t go away.
Liverpool – 7.00
Liverpool are making moves this summer, and Osimhen is near the top of their list. Reports suggest a bold part-exchange offer was made to Napoli, featuring Darwin Núñez, Federico Chiesa, and £17m in cash.
It wasn’t accepted – but it got their attention.
With Arne Slot looking to reshape the attack, Osimhen could be the next statement signing after Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong. He fits the profile perfectly and would be an ideal No.9 to lead the champions into their title defence.
