Transfer: Arsenal Drop Osimhen Talks as Man Utd Suffer Gavi Blow
Arsenal have reportedly ended active talks for Victor Osimhen, while Manchester United face another setback in their Gavi pursuit.
Arsenal and Galatasaray are reportedly not currently engaged in active negotiations over a potential transfer for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
The latest development casts further uncertainty over the Nigerian forward’s future at Galatasaray, amid continued speculation linking him with a move away from the Turkish champions.
Osimhen has attracted significant interest following his impressive performances in Turkey, where he established himself as one of Galatasaray’s key attacking players.
Arsenal have previously been linked with the striker as they continue to assess options to strengthen their attack. However, there is currently no active negotiation between the Premier League club and Galatasaray specifically regarding Osimhen.
Galatasaray remain keen to retain the Nigeria international, who became a permanent member of the squad after his successful loan spell at the club.
Any potential move would depend heavily on the Turkish club’s valuation and the willingness of an interested club to meet its financial demands.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have suffered a setback in their reported pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Gavi.
United have been linked with the Spain international as part of their efforts to strengthen their midfield, but Barcelona remain reluctant to allow the 21-year-old to leave.
The development represents another obstacle for United as they continue to reshape their squad ahead of the new season.
The Red Devils are also dealing with uncertainty surrounding captain Bruno Fernandes, who has attracted interest from Turkish champions Galatasaray.
Galatasaray have reportedly identified Fernandes as a major transfer target, although Manchester United remain keen to keep their captain at Old Trafford.
With the transfer window still open, both Osimhen and Fernandes could remain subjects of significant transfer speculation.
For now, Osimhen remains a Galatasaray player, while Arsenal appear to have no active discussions with the Turkish club over his signing.
