Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray<\/a> have slapped an \u20ac80 million release clause on Victor Osimhen<\/a> amid interest from Spanish giants Barcelona<\/a>, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bOsimhen has been one of the most prolific strikers in the world over the last four years. In fact, he only recently scored his 200th career goal.<\/a><\/p>\n \u200bSince his permanent move to Galatasaray, he has been the club’s poster boy due to his impressive performances. This season, he has contributed 15 goals and one assist in 21 appearances across all competitions for the Cimbom.<\/p>\n \u200bThe Nigerian international has been particularly vital in the UEFA Champions League, where he has already netted six goals.<\/p>\n \u200bHis performances have not gone unnoticed, however, as several top clubs continue to keep tabs on him.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old only joined Galatasaray last summer for a Turkish transfer record fee of \u20ac75 million, but many clubs in Europe’s top five leagues would fancy having him as their leading man.<\/p>\n Get Our Sports News First \u2013\u00a0Join Our WhatsApp Channel Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bNow, according to a report by Turkish outlet Haberlisin<\/a>, Spanish giants Barcelona are plotting a move for Osimhen.<\/p>\n \u200bBarcelona’s current top striker is Robert Lewandowski, and the club is looking to move on from the veteran, who will turn 38 in August.<\/p>\n \u200bWith second-choice striker Ferran Torres not considered a reliable long-term option, the Catalans are searching for a proper talisman to lead their line.<\/p>\n \u200bAccording to Haberlisin<\/a>, Barcelona have made Osimhen a major target and are willing to go all out for him in the summer.<\/p>\n \u200bHowever, Galatasaray won’t let him leave for cheap. Having paid \u20ac75 million for his services just seven months ago, they will want to maximize their return on the transfer. Consequently, they have slapped a hefty \u20ac80 million price tag on the Super Eagles star.<\/p>\n \u200bAlthough they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, Barcelona might struggle to meet this valuation due to their ongoing financial troubles. However, over the last three years, they have managed to pull off several big-money deals.<\/p>\n \u200bFor Osimhen, even though he loves life at Galatasaray and earns a Turkish-record salary<\/a>, he likely still has eyes on playing in one of Europe’s top five leagues.<\/p>\n \u200bIt remains to be seen how hard the Spanish giants will push to get this transfer over the line and whether Osimhen will be willing to go.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/media.soccernet.ng\/main\/2025\/08\/imago1062590779-scaled.jpg\")
