Arsenal are not in ongoing talks with Galatasaray over a summer move for Victor Osimhen, and a transfer to the Emirates Stadium remains highly unlikely before the deadline. FootballTransfers has been told that Arsenal are not currently pursuing a deal for Osimhen, despite historical interest in the player. The forward's wage demands have been an obstacle for Premier League clubs. Fabrizio Romano reports that nothing concrete is happening between Arsenal and Galatasaray at this time. According to what Romano has heard, there are no negotiations, no bid, and no conversations taking place. Galatasaray sources say the club wants to keep Victor Osimhen and will make efforts to keep him, even if they receive proposals.

According to Football Insider, Victor Osimhen wants to join Arsenal after the club looked into a deal.

According to information received by FootballTransfers, Arsenal will not sign Victor Osimhen as the club is happy with its current striker options of Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres. Amid rumoured interest from Arsenal, Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek insists that Osimhen will not be sold for any price this summer. Turkish outlet 343 Digital reported that in a statement to club insiders, Dursun Ozbek said that what he previously stated about Baris Alper Yilmaz, he is now saying even more strongly about Osimhen, and that he is not selling the player at any price. After Galatasaray’s 2-2 draw against Corum FK, Osimhen did not comment on speculation, telling reporters that rumours are always present in transfer seasons. He also stated that he will take care of his business and is focused on his job, and that they will see and think further afterwards.

Galatasaray have warned Arsenal that striker target Victor Osimhen will not be sold before the end of the summer transfer window. Turkish outlet Sozcu claims Arteta remains determined to sign the forward, who is viewed as more accessible than Atletico star Alvarez. According to 343 Digital, Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has privately confirmed that Osimhen will not be sold under any circumstances. Ozbek reportedly told his inner circle that he would not agree to any transaction that would harm Galatasaray or not benefit Galatasaray. He is also reported to have said that what he said about Baris Alper Yilmaz, he was now saying even more strongly about Osimhen, and that he is not selling Osimhen regardless of the price.

Arsenal are said to be interested in signing Victor Osimhen. While reports have suggested that Arsenal have actively discussed acquiring the player, FootballTransfers contributor Steve Kay understands that the only conversation regarding a potential deal occurred between Galatasaray and Osimhen's representatives. Any deal would need to be for a minimum of the €75m that Galatasaray paid for him, and it is considered doubtful that they would sell for under €100m. Sky Germany reports that Galatasaray recently rejected a €130m offer from an intermediary acting for the Saudi club Al-Hilal. Osimhen stated that there are always rumours during transfer windows, adding that he will concentrate on his job and his work and that they will see and consider the future.

According to Goal.com, Victor Osimhen has not ruled out a departure from Galatasaray amid mounting transfer links with Arsenal. The player addressed speculation about his future following a 2-2 draw against Corum FK, insisting he remains focused on performing well on the pitch for the moment.

The Telegraph reports that negotiations have started between Arsenal and Galatasaray for the transfer of Victor Osimhen. Arsenal's focus shifted to Osimhen after their initial target, Julian Alvarez, could not be acquired from Atletico Madrid.

According to Ben Jacobs, there has not been significant progress regarding Victor Osimhen, and the most probable result is that he will stay at Galatasaray. For Osimhen, wages continue to be a problem. A bid from Al Hilal, for a sum considerably higher than what Arsenal is willing to pay, has been rejected by Galatasaray.

Victor Osimhen is a top target for Arsenal, according to Footmercato. An official bid has not yet been submitted. An agreement could possibly involve Martinelli and/or Nwaneri to lower the price. Galatasaray reportedly wants a sum of around 70 million euros.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal and Galatasaray discussed a potential move for Victor Osimhen during talks concerning the futures of Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. Arsenal have conducted internal discussions regarding a potential move for Osimhen amid claims that his price is significantly less than £100m. A large fee would still be required for Osimhen, even though Galatasaray are now willing to negotiate his departure at a slightly reduced price. Osimhen desires high wages to move to the Premier League.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal are prepared to renew their interest in Victor Osimhen and have previously spoken about the forward. The same source states that no offer has been made yet, but the deal is being discussed as one of several potential deals between the clubs. FootMercato reports that Galatasaray have not put a price on the striker but aim to at least recover the €75 million they paid for him. Berta is developing relationships with the leaders of the Turkish side, which is potentially a preparation for a deal this summer or in the future.

During transfer discussions with Galatasaray concerning Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri, Arsenal enquired this summer about Victor Osimhen's availability. The Telegraph reports that the prospect of Osimhen moving to Arsenal was included in those talks, although it remains unclear whether Berta proposed this or if the deal was offered by Galatasaray. The forward's fee could prove excessive. Reports this week claim that Galatasaray rejected a verbal offer of €130m from Al-Hilal for the striker.

According to The Telegraph, Victor Osimhen’s name was mentioned during negotiations between Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta and Galatasaray officials. While Arsenal had reportedly placed Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez ahead of Osimhen on their shortlist, Atlético manager Diego Simeone has made it clear that Álvarez will not be leaving. This could encourage Arsenal to revisit their interest in Osimhen. The club could potentially use their existing negotiations with Galatasaray over Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri to gain an advantage and explore a player-plus-cash or swap deal for the striker.

The name of Victor Osimhen was mentioned in negotiations between Arsenal and Galatasaray, and the topic of a possible transfer to Arsenal was reportedly raised. It is not clear whether the transfer was proposed by Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta or if the striker was offered to the club. Arsenal has been monitoring Osimhen for a long time, but he has so far been the second option on their wish list, behind Julian Alvarez.

According to Nigerian outlet PUNCH Sports Extra, Galatasaray has rejected a player-plus-cash swap deal bid from Arsenal for forward Victor Osimhen, with the outlet claiming the offer involved Viktor Gyokeres and €30m. The report also states that Arsenal officials recently travelled to Istanbul to attempt to finalise an agreement. Galatasaray values Osimhen at a minimum of €130m, and there is reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Victor Osimhen is described as a proven elite goalscorer and an obvious candidate to replace Gabriel Jesus should Arsenal decide to move on. His statistics for the 2025/26 season were 22 goals and 8 assists in 33 games. It is stated that a player like Osimhen attracts significant interest, with Manchester United and Barcelona reportedly among the clubs likely to compete for him, making a pursuit by Arsenal costly and highly competitive.

Galatasaray have confirmed Arsenal's interest in Victor Osimhen. It is said that Arsenal director Andrea Berta was deterred by the finances involved in a potential deal. Galatasaray's vice-president has insisted that Osimhen is expected to remain with the club. Speaking to HT Spor, Vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu said that he would not sell the player for €150 million and that it is a matter for the club's president to decide.

According to AS, Galatasaray has set a price of 150 million euros for Victor Osimhen, which has reduced the interest of large European clubs, including Arsenal. Arsenal is closely monitoring the situation regarding Osimhen and considers him to be an offensive reinforcement.

AS reports that Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, was present in Istanbul at the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby to scout Victor Osimhen. The main objective was to watch Osimhen live. Berta gathered first-hand information from the Galatasaray board about the possible departure of the Nigerian player. Osimhen is seen as a great option for the London club in this summer transfer window.

According to Sports Boom, Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has again become a target for both Arsenal and Manchester United, but Bayern Munich are considering making a bid of over $115.8 million (€100 million, £86.6 million).

Sports Boom reports that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen on bringing Victor Osimhen to the club in the summer transfer window. Arteta reportedly views Osimhen as the player needed to complete his frontline. Galatasaray will demand €130million (£112.4m, $151.2m) for Victor Osimhen, whose salary at the club is €15-18m per year with bonuses.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a clause was reportedly inserted by Napoli into Victor Osimhen’s contract at Galatasaray. The clause stipulates that the Turkish champions must pay an $82.7 million penalty to the Italian club if the striker is sold to Juventus. This situation is considered to aid the transfer ambitions of Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
