Chelsea linked with Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen in €75m transfer rumour

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray, has been linked with a move to Chelsea.

The 27-year-old centre-forward is the subject of a reported switch from the Turkish Super Lig to the Premier League. The rumour is dated 1 August 2026 and has been given a 49% probability, meaning the proposed transfer remains unconfirmed.

Osimhen’s market value is listed at €75m, providing the main financial reference attached to the potential move. He remains under contract with Galatasaray until 30 June 2029, so any transfer would involve a player tied to his current club for almost three more years.

The link places Osimhen in a Premier League context after his time with Galatasaray, with Chelsea named as the possible destination. His position is centre-forward, while his Nigerian nationality is also identified in the transfer report.

For now, Osimhen remains a Galatasaray player and the reported move to Chelsea is still only a rumour. His existing agreement with the Turkish club runs through June 2029.
