Atletico Madrid Join Race for Victor Osimhen as Summer Transfer Interest Intensifies
Atletico Madrid have reportedly made initial contact over a possible move for Victor Osimhen as they prepare for a potentially busy summer transfer window.
According to reports from Diario AS, the Spanish giants are assessing the availability of the Nigerian striker amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Julian Alvarez, who continues to be linked with a move to Barcelona.
Osimhen has emerged as one of the most sought-after forwards in European football following an outstanding spell with Galatasaray. The striker has scored 59 goals in 74 appearances across two seasons, playing a key role in the club's domestic success, including two league titles and a cup triumph.
The Super Eagles star is attracting interest from several top clubs across Europe. Alongside Atletico Madrid, both Manchester United and Arsenal are believed to be monitoring his situation closely, while Paris Saint-Germain remain admirers of the 27-year-old.
