Europe’s transfer spotlight is once again shining brightly on Victor Osimhen, with a fresh battle forming for the Super Eagles striker’s signature, footynaija.com reports.
According to Football Transfers, Chelsea FC have returned to close monitoring after learning that both FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are preparing serious summer approaches.
Osimhen’s rise has been followed closely in west London since his early breakthrough at Lille OSC, before he exploded into one of Europe’s deadliest forwards at SSC Napoli. Chelsea pushed hard to sign him in 2024, but negotiations collapsed late in the window, opening the door for a move to Galatasaray SK; first on loan, then in a club-record permanent deal.

Even in Istanbul, the Nigerian has remained one of football’s most feared strikers. His goals, pace and physical strength have kept scouts busy and rumours alive, despite Galatasaray tying him down to a long contract.
In Spain, Atlético see Osimhen as the perfect spearhead for Diego Simeone’s high-intensity system, especially with uncertainty surrounding parts of their attack.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are quietly planning for life after Robert Lewandowski and view the Nigerian as a natural heir to lead their frontline for years.
Galatasaray are under no pressure to sell and would demand a massive fee to even begin talks. But with elite clubs circling and Chelsea still dreaming of finally landing their long-term target, this summer could shape the next chapter of Osimhen’s already remarkable career.
