Overview
- Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has initiated exploratory discussions over Victor Osimhen, according to TuttoJuve reporting cited on Friday by Football365.
- Berta attended the Galatasaray–Fenerbahçe derby in Istanbul to watch Osimhen and held talks with club figures, as first reported by AS.
- Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also tracking the forward, which could push interest into a competitive chase once any formal offers emerge.
- Galatasaray are said to want about €150m after paying €75m last summer, while Osimhen has produced 20 goals and 7 assists in 31 matches this season.
- Arsenal’s scouting trip also covered Barış Alper Yılmaz and goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır, reflecting a wider review of options up front given Viktor Gyökeres’ uneven form and reports that Gabriel Jesus could leave.
