According to Turkish outlet, Sozcu, the Istanbul club are considering a transfer offer of around €50 million for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

This development deals a significant blow to several clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, who are among the top contenders vying for the striker’s signature.
