Transfer: Galatasaray propose swap deal for Osimhen

Galatasaray are reportedly preparing a swap deal to acquire Victor Osimhen on a permanent transfer from Napoli.

According to sources in Turkey, Galatasaray plan to offer cash along with one of three players — Davinson Sanchez, Baris Alper Yilmaz, or Yunus Akgun — in exchange for the striker.

Osimhen joined the Turkish Super Lig champions on a season-long loan in September and has quickly become a vital player for the club.

The 25-year-old Nigerian international has impressed under manager Okan Buruk, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in just nine appearances.

To lower the overall transfer cost, Galatasaray are including players in the proposed deal.

Several top European clubs are also expected to pursue Osimhen next summer.
