Real Madrid is reportedly setting its sights on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, as they look to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season.
Osimhen has had an impressive stint at Galatasaray, netting 37 goals in 41 appearances, which has caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are considering Osimhen as a potential alternative to Kylian Mbappé, with internal discussions favoring the Nigerian's proven goal-scoring prowess and physicality .
However, Real Madrid faces stiff competition from Saudi club Al Hilal, which has reportedly offered Osimhen a lucrative contract worth between €30 and €35 million annually, along with a transfer fee close to his €75 million release clause.
While Real Madrid had previously passed on signing Osimhen, focusing instead on strengthening their midfield with Jude Bellingham, the club's recent interest indicates a renewed strategy to enhance their attacking lineup.
As the transfer window approaches, the football world watches closely to see whether Osimhen will don the iconic white jersey of Real Madrid or opt for the lucrative offer from Al Hilal.
