Still among the world’s top scorers, the former Lille striker is set to be one of the main attractions of the upcoming transfer window, according to Foot Mercato.
Thriving under the Galatasaray shirt, Victor Osimhen is already heating up the summer transfer market. At 27, the Nigerian international (born December 29, 1998) is performing at the peak of his powers with outstanding displays. In the 2025/2026 season, he has recorded 12 goals and 4 assists in the Süper Lig in just 1,442 minutes (average FotMob rating of 7.7), along with 7 goals in 10 Champions League matches (841 minutes, 3 assists). His remarkable numbers, including a decisive goal against Juventus, highlight the rarity of truly prolific number 9s at the highest level.
Under contract until 2029 following a €75 million transfer, Osimhen has already proven to be a valuable investment for the Istanbul club, with his market value now estimated at €77.7 million. Bayern Munich are closely monitoring his situation as they prepare for life after Harry Kane. Head coach Vincent Kompany, who has followed Osimhen since his early days in Belgium, has reportedly approved the move. The Bavarian board is already working on a long-term succession plan, as highlighted by reports relayed from Foot Mercato.
The deal, however, could be massive. Galatasaray would only consider a sale for around €150 million, while Osimhen’s salary demands—reportedly close to €20 million net per year—are already discouraging several European giants. Paris Saint-Germain have stepped back from the race, and although Saudi clubs remain interested, Osimhen is determined to stay at the highest level in Europe. His impressive output, including 35 assists in recent seasons, makes him one of the most sought-after players on the market.
This transfer saga is only just beginning for one of the world’s elite strikers. With 28 decisive goal contributions this season, Osimhen is set to dominate headlines throughout the summer. The big question now is whether Bayern will make their move—or if another European giant will step in to secure the Nigerian star at the peak of his career.
