Galatasaray assistant head coach Ismael Garcia Gomez has explained the key qualities that set Victor Osimhen apart, amid transfer interest from several European clubs, Soccernet.ng<\/u><\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Nigerian forward has emerged as a top transfer target for several of Europe\u2019s\u00a0top\u00a0clubs ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window\u00a0and\u00a0his impressive performances for Galatasaray\u00a0has played\u00a0a major role in the growing interest.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old initially joined the Cimbom on loan in 2024 before the move was made permanent last summer. <\/p>\n Since then, he has continued to strengthen his reputation as one of the world\u2019s most prolific strikers, scoring 59 goals in 74 appearances\u00a0across all competitions since arriving in Istanbul, helping the club to two league titles and a Turkish cup crown.<\/p>\n Victor Osimhen\u2019s future has become a major talking point ahead of the summer, with questions over where he will be playing next season due to the level of interest he has attracted in recent months.<\/p>\n The Nigerian forward\u00a0has repeatedly expressed his desire to remain at the club beyond this season\u00a0and\u00a0has also developed a strong bond with Galatasaray supporters over his two-year spell. However, a fee in the region of\u00a0\u20ac150 million could still be enough to tempt the Turkish club into selling him this summer.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with\u00a0Marca<\/strong>,\u00a0Ismael Garcia praised Osimhen\u2019s performances\u00a0for Galatasaray and also highlighted the major qualities that makes his game different from other players.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe have very top-level players, but in my opinion, Osimhen is among the world’s top 3\u20135 strikers\u201d,\u00a0the Spaniard said, via Forza Cimbom<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cHe possesses an extremely high level and impressive physical strength: he presses, he defends\u2026 In addition, he has the ability to influence the opposing defence even in moments when he’s not heavily involved in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n Osimhen\u00a0could be on the verge of joining a new club in the coming weeks, as interest continues to grow ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n Premier League heavyweights\u00a0<\/u>Manchester United have identified\u00a0<\/u>the Nigerian forward\u00a0<\/u>as a dream signing<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and are\u00a0eyeing a move to make him their main striker ahead of next season. Spanish giants\u00a0Real Madrid are also monitoring his situation and could move for him if Jos\u00e9 Mourinho is eventually appointed as head coach.<\/p>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/mMo0oHquTKugS0GPLiC_EQWRBZc=\/3791x2527\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F04%2Fimago1074507433.jpg\")
