<p>According to Turkish football insider Serhan Türk, the Spanish giants have already made contact and indicated their willingness to pay a huge fee.</p>
<p>“Barcelona has a great interest in Victor Osimhen,” Serhan Türk said as per <a href=”https://habersarikirmizi.com/galatasaray-arsenalden-bir-oyuncu-alabilir-barcelona-100-milyon-euronun-uzerinde-gayriresmi-teklif-yapti”>Habersarikirmizi</a>. “They have informally made an offer of over 100 million euros. Galatasaray’s expectation for Osimhen is 150 million euros.”</p>

<p>Osimhen only joined Galatasaray permanently last summer in a deal worth €74 million, but his explosive form has quickly turned heads across Europe. The 27-year-old Super Eagles striker has delivered 27 goal contributions this season, 20 goals and 7 assists, making him one of the most dangerous forwards in world football right now.</p>
<p>Clubs like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Arsenal are all believed to be preparing bids ahead of the summer transfer window.</p>
<p>Yet, Barcelona appear eager to move first, even if their approach is not yet formal. Reports suggest no official bid has been submitted, and top-tier journalists have not confirmed any concrete negotiations. Instead, the Catalan club is said to be closely monitoring Osimhen as part of their long-term transfer plans.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading”>Why Barcelona want Osimhen</h2>
<p>Barcelona’s interest is not difficult to understand. With Robert Lewandowski approaching 38, the club is actively searching for a long-term replacement to lead the attack.</p>
<p>Under manager Hansi Flick, Osimhen’s style fits Barcelona perfectly. He is quick, powerful, strong in the air, and presses defenders relentlessly; all qualities that suit Flick’s high-energy system. Compared to Lewandowski, Osimhen offers more movement, more physical presence, and greater impact across the pitch.</p>
<p>However, there are serious challenges.<br>Galatasaray are in a strong position after investing heavily in the striker. Club officials have made it clear they will not sell cheaply, with reports suggesting they want between €130 million and €150 million. There is also no release clause in his contract, meaning they can fully control negotiations.</p>

<p>Barcelona’s finances present another major obstacle. The club is still dealing with strict La Liga financial rules, which limit how much they can spend. Their internal budget for a new striker is believed to be around €100 million, far below Galatasaray’s asking price.</p>
<p>Then there is Osimhen’s salary. The Nigerian forward currently earns one of the highest wages in Turkish football, with a total package reportedly reaching over €20 million net per season. Matching that in Spain would push Barcelona’s wage bill to uncomfortable levels, especially under La Liga’s financial fair play system.</p>
<p>Because of these issues, Osimhen is seen as a ‘Plan B’ option for the Catalans. Reports in Spain suggest Barcelona’s top striker target remains Julián Álvarez of Atlético Madrid. A move for Osimhen may only happen if that deal proves impossible.</p>
