The Nigeria international, 26, is currently on loan at Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasarary, but he is widely expected to leave Napoli on a permanent deal this summer.

Osimhen has a €75 million release clause included in his current deal with the Serie A side and although Galatasaray have been linked with a permanent move for the forward, they have reportedly turned their attention to AC Milan star Alvaro Morata.

Furthermore, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick isn’t convinced that Osimhen would be value for money, according to El Nacional.

Osimhen’s entourage have reportedly contacted the Blaugrana regarding a possible move to Camp Nou this summer, but Flick would currently prefer to sign Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak or Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres.

A move for the Nigeria star can’t be ruled out, as per El Nacional, but Barcelona are now looking at alternative targets in their bid to sign a Robert Lewandowski successor, despite Osimhen’s reported desire to join the club.

Victor Osimhen to secure a Premier League transfer?

As a result, Chelsea and Man Utd have been handed the chance to accelerate their pursuit of Osimhen following their failed attempts to sign him in 2024.

The Nigerian has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for the past few months, with Man Utd tipped to make a concerted effort to sign him this year amid Rasmus Hojlund’s recent struggles in front of goal.

Meanwhile, Chelsea could rekindle their interest in Osimhen after coming close to finalising a deal for the 26-year-old last summer. However, the Blues are also tracking Evan Ferguson and Liam Delap as they eye a possible replacement for Nicolas Jackson.

Mohbad’s wife(wunmi) called in to a TikTok live show earlier today and SHE SAID:

Image
  **"I’m tired of keeping quiet. I’ve been quiet for so long, and people have turned that silence into guilt. I see all the things said about me and my son online — strangers, bloggers, even people who once claimed to love Moh, now turning around and calling my innocent son a b@stard. It breaks my heart. I carried that boy for nine months. I gave birth to him, and every day I look into his eyes, I see his father. Liam is Mohbad’s child. But instead of people supporting me and the little boy Moh left behind, they insult him. They rain curses on an innocent child. Why? What did he do? Because he’s too small to speak for himself? What hurts me even more is that the same people calling for a DNA test don’t know that it’s Baba — yes, Mohbad’s father — who is delaying the DNA. I’ve never refused a DNA test. I’m not scared of it. Let them do it. But how do you do a DNA test when the person who should give consent or push for it is the one dragging his feet? Why won’t Baba complete the p...

  “The moment I stopped being Pogba the rich and famous player, everyone disappeared. Even my wife left me. That pain is something I still carry.” He went on to say: “People who once chased me for events and appearances suddenly said, ‘Pogba is of no use now.’ It broke me... but it also opened my eyes. Now I know who my real friends are — or rather, how few they truly are.” 🧠 Lesson: Success reveals who admires you... But failure reveals who genuinely values you. 💔 "When the fame died, so did the loyalty." — Paul Pogba speaks on the darkest chapter of his life.

This is why we should not let this case go down,and I don’t think it is fair for anyone to withhold information especially his main friends that knew what he went through,if you guys still feel the likes of zlatan and Bella shurmda should not contribute in pointing out all the so called people that made mohbad life a living hell then you are all not ready to make this boy rest in peace,they should talk

Image
  We must not let Mohbad’s case be forgotten, ignored, or swept under the rug. This is bigger than just a trending topic or another viral headline. This is about a young life that was lost under deeply troubling circumstances, and until the truth comes out, there can be no real peace—for his family, for his fans, or for his soul. It is painful and unfair that even now, after everything that has happened, some of the people closest to him remain silent. Those who were his friends—his so-called brothers in the industry—those who shared stages with him, knew his struggles, and witnessed his pain firsthand, owe it to him and to the world to speak up. People like Zlatan and Bella Shmurda , who were once seen around him, who knew the kind of emotional, psychological, and even physical battles Mohbad was facing, cannot afford to stay silent any longer. This is not about chasing clout. This is not about entertainment gossip. This is about justice . If we continue to act like it's not...
