Reports from Turkey indicate that Victor Osimhen is actively attempting to persuade fellow Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman to join him at Galatasaray during the January transfer window.

The two players are understood to have discussed the possibility while on international duty with Nigeria, with NOW Spor reporting that Lookman reacted positively to the proposal and is open to reuniting with Osimhen at club level.

Galatasaray monitoring €50m valuation

Atalanta have placed a €50 million price tag on Lookman, after rejecting a €43 million plus add-ons offer from Inter Milan during the summer.

The Italian club are insisting on a higher fee for any Serie A rival, but would consider a slightly reduced figure for a foreign club, a position that keeps Galatasaray firmly in the conversation.

Lookman’s situation in Bergamo remains complicated following a tense summer period. It is unclear whether the exit of former coach Ivan Jurić will improve his standing within the squad.

Wages on the table

Additional reports suggest Galatasaray are prepared to offer Lookman a substantial salary package worth around €9 million per season.

With Osimhen already a central figure at the Turkish champions, his influence could play a defining role in shaping Lookman’s next career move as the January window approaches.
