Atlético sound out Osimhen, two stars near Galatasaray exit

Osimhen wanted in Madrid

Atlético Madrid have sounded out Victor Osimhen as they prepare for a possible Julián Alvarez departure this summer (1). The Nigerian striker delivered 22 goals and 8 assists for you this season, and the interest is real. Manchester United remain in the picture too, with former PSG defender Godwin Okpara publicly urging Osimhen to pick Old Trafford, calling it "the best place" for him (3).

Two stars heading for the exit

Two important players are close to leaving the club as the champions begin shaping the squad for next season (2). No names confirmed yet, but the departures are described as imminent. After securing a fourth straight Süper Lig title, Okan Buruk is moving quickly on squad planning.

Rival help on foreign player rule

Galatasaray are waiting on Fenerbahçe's presidential election, hoping their rivals will back a push to revise Turkey's 10+4 foreign player limit (4). If Fenerbahçe's new leadership gets on board, the rule change campaign could gain serious momentum.

Fan reactions

The subreddit is buzzing with transfer chatter. Reports that the club has authorized George Gardi to pursue Can Uzun are generating excitement, with fans noting Frankfurt's high demands could be the only obstacle. Meanwhile, Davinson Sanchez scored for Colombia in a 1–0 win over Costa Rica, and supporters are also talking about a special box production planned for Barış Alper Yılmaz, 20,000 units in the first phase. Eren Elmalı's hospital visit after injury has raised some concern too. See the discussion
