Transfer: Galatasaray eye Tresoldi as Osimhen’s replacement

Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have expressed interest in Nicolo Tresoldi, a dual-national centre-forward from Club Brugge, with the Belgian club reportedly seeking 40 million euros.

Reports from Türkiye, including Alanya Postası, indicate that the Yellow-Reds are exploring the option of acquiring the highly-rated striker, who has garnered attention from several prominent European clubs.

In light of the uncertainty regarding Victor Osimhen’s future, it is reported that Galatasaray’s management is evaluating alternative attacking options as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Nevertheless, Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek and manager Okan Buruk have downplayed speculation regarding a potential departure for the former African Footballer of the Year, asserting that he is not for sale despite interest from clubs such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea.

Osimhen’s withdrawal from the Nigeria squad for the June international matches against Poland and Portugal has further contributed to the ambiguity surrounding his club future.

During the 2025-2026 season, Tresoldi participated in 58 official matches for Club Brugge, where he made significant contributions with 23 goals and 9 assists.

Eligible to represent both Germany and Italy at the international level, the Cagliari native is provisionally cap-tied to the four-time World Cup champions, having played competitive matches for their U19 and U21 teams.
