Chelsea, Manchester United, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and several other sides were linked with the superstar. But it was the Cimbom that later prevailed.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1252\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/AMvGqQei2Kh77IlZQmv_aLPldv0=\/1252x798\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F03%2FCompress_20260301_105241_1459.jpg\" alt=\"Soccer Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray teammates\"><figcaption>Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray teammates.

With him on the team, the Turkish champions reached the Round of 16 of the Champions League, becoming the first Turkish club to do so in about a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bHowever, there is still a belief that he could exit Rams Park eventually, as <a href=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/2026\/02\/victor-osimhen-barcelona-atletico.html\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"197799\">some top clubs still have their eyes on him.<\/a> Retired German star Hamann, who played for top clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, has a choice destination in mind for Osimhen.<\/p>\n<h2>Soccer \u200b<strong>Hamann Reveals Ideal Club For Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6562\" height=\"4375\" src=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/ONmd4WClgpLnl6NPqjN-r8h3I3U=\/6562x4375\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F02%2FCompress_20260227_190256_6822.jpg\" alt=\"Soccer Victor Osimhen tries to dribble past Milos Kerkez\"><figcaption>Victor Osimhen tries to dribble past Milos Kerkez.

I was truly surprised that no English team signed him. Last summer, almost everyone had a problem at the center-forward position,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fanatik.com.tr\/en\/i-couldnt-believe-he-transferred-to-turkey-former-german-star-lavishes-praise-on-osimhen-2618954\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamann said.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u200b\u201dOsimhen is an extraordinary player. The reason Galatasaray is performing so well in the league is likely because of him. I enjoy watching him. I believe if he played in the Premier League, he would significantly strengthen whichever team he joined\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u200b\u201dLiverpool already has two players in that position, so nothing will happen there for Osimhen. However, he has pace, power, and clinical finishing. If Newcastle United sells Nick Woltemade, Osimhen could be a perfect fit for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4000\" height=\"2667\" src=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/86vvfn2zExoERvD2TVe7ufqb34g=\/4000x2667\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F02%2Fimago1072005707-1.jpg\" alt=\"Soccer Victor Osimhen in action during the Super Lig match between Galatasaray SK and Kayserispor at Rams Park Stadium\"><figcaption>Victor Osimhen in action for Galatasaray.
