Arsenal Set to Trigger Victor Osimhen’s €75m Release Clause in Summer Transfer Window

Arsenal are reportedly planning to sign on-loan Napoli forward Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window, with an offer of around £65 million being prepared by the Gunners.

The report adds that the North London club are ready to trigger his release clause by placing a €75 million (£61 million) bid to sign the forward, who has registered 27 goal contributions (22 goals and five assists) across all competitions this season.

Osimhen added a brace to his tally on Sunday, scoring a penalty and another goal in Galatasaray’s 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa.

Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu also reported that Arsenal are hijacking Manchester United’s move for Osimhen.

The Gunners are in the market this summer to sign a new center-forward following injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Osimhen is currently on loan with Turkish League defending champions Galatasaray and is not expected to return to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this summer, as he is likely to leave with a year remaining on his contract.
