Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a €100m bid for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

The European giants are believed to be targeting the Nigerian forward to free Kylian Mbappé from the central attacking role he has been occupying.

Madrid’s plan is to return Mbappé to the left flank, a position widely regarded as his most natural and dangerous, while Osimhen would lead the line as the team’s primary striker.

The report says Madrid sees Osimhen as a pure striker who brings elite finishing, explosive pace and consistent scoring output.

His pressing ability, movement in the box and physical presence are said to be exactly what the club wants to complete its attacking structure.

Recall that Galatasaray signed Osimhen permanently last summer in a €75m deal.

The club would be seeking a significant profit before entertaining any talks. The Turkish champions are aware of his rising market value and will not let him go cheaply.

Osimhen has been in outstanding form since arriving in Istanbul, quickly becoming Galatasaray’s talisman this season.

Having scored multiple goals across all competitions, Osimhen has also provided several assists, while also standing out with his work rate, link-up play and decisive contributions in big games. His performances have been central to Galatasaray’s strong domestic and European campaign.

It remains unclear whether Galatasaray will consider Madrid’s approach, but the Super Eagles striker’s form has placed him firmly in the spotlight.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Real Madrid are expected to intensify their efforts as they look to reshape their attack for next season.
