Transfer: Galatasaray ask Osimhen to help in Lookman chase

Galatasaray have asked their striker, Victor Osimhen, to help convince fellow Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, to move to Istanbul this summer.

Fotomac reports that the Turkish champions are very keen on signing Lookman from Atlético Madrid.

The 28-year-old only moved to LaLiga in the January window in a deal worth €35m.

Lookman has gone on to become one of the club’s most impressive performers, contributing five goals and four assists in 24 appearances.

Galatasaray’s decision to approach Osimhen as an informal mediator reflects the scale of the challenge they face in pulling off the transfer.

Atlético have already lost Antoine Griezmann, with the futures of Julian Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth uncertain and would be deeply reluctant to sanction another high-profile departure.
