Real Madrid Enter Race To Sign Osimhen

The battle to land Victor Osimhen this summer is heating up, with Real Madrid now in the race to sign the Nigerian striker, according to Fichajes.

Osimhen has been heavily linked with Saudi giants Al Hilal in the past few days.

But the 26-year-old was reportedly given a June 5 deadline to make a decision.

With the ultimatum over, it appears Al Hilal will look to other options as they prepare their squad for the Club World Cup.

While Galatasaray is desperate to keep Osimhen in Turkey beyond the summer, other top European clubs are in the race too.

Osimhen has emerged as a top target for Real Madrid as new manager Xabi Alonso looks to reshape the club’s attacking line-up.

After scoring 37 goals across all competitions for Galatasaray this season, Osimhen has rocketed to the top of Los Blancos’ shortlist.

Alonso is understood to be a long-time admirer of Osimhen’s explosive style, combining raw athleticism with smart movement and lethal finishing.
