According to English media reports, Galatasaray are ready to submit a €75 million bid for Osimhen’s permanent transfer. However, the player is said to be holding out for a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool and Manchester United among the clubs previously linked with his signature.
Liverpool are expected to part ways with at least one of their current forwards — Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo or Luis Diaz — with the Colombian reportedly on Barcelona’s radar in recent weeks.
The Merseyside club have already signed Dutch full-back Jeremie Frimpong for £35 million and are close to a British-record move for German playmaker Florian Wirtz at nearly £130 million. Despite those heavy investments, the club under Arne Slot continues to push for further reinforcements, and Osimhen is now firmly on their radar.
