In a major development today, Atletico Madrid have renewed their interest in Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.
According to report from Spain today October 30, Atletico manager Diego Simeone has asked the club management to sign the Nigerian player in the midseason transfer window.
The report said Simeone considers Osimhen the ideal addition and that the club has started work to meet the request.
Atletico Madrid are in serious crisis. Their three main strikers, Jonathan David, Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth, have contributed only four goals in all competitions. David has scored three, Alvarez one, and Sorloth has yet to score.
This poor form has forced Simeone to look for a proven goalscorer, and Osimhen is top of his list.
Galatasaray signed Osimhen from Napoli and bought him for 75 million euros. The Turkish club holds the upper hand in negotiations as his contract lacks a release clause.
Osimhen is currently earning 21 million euros per year at Galatasaray and has been in fantastic form for the club.
Galatasaray fans will not want to lose their star striker, but Atletico Madrid are desperate and ready to push hard in January.
Will Osimhen leave Galatasaray for Spain? The January window will be very interesting.
