Osimhen is a wanted man in Europe following a fantastic season for Napoli, and Real Madrid have now entered the race too.
Real Madrid want to sign a reliable striker who can deputise for Karim Benzema and eventually replace him. Now, according to a report from Fichajes, the man they want to bring to the Santiago Bernabeu is Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
As good as Benzema has been, he won’t be around forever, although he is set to stay at least until 2024. At 35, he has certainly entered the twilight of his career, and Madrid will be keen on finding an able replacement before their second highest goalscorer of all-time calls it a day at the Bernabeu.
Osimhen might just be the answer Real Madrid are looking for. The Nigerian forward is not only young, but has also accumulated the experience of playing and performing in crucial games. Napoli won their first Serie A title in 33 years, thanks to Osimhen’s imperious form in front of goal. They also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
