If he signs the contract to become Real Madrid’s coach, Jose Murinho is likely to bring Victor Osimhen to Real Madrid.
If Jose Mourinho is named Real Madrid’s new head coach, Victor Osimhen has a 50% chance of joining the team this summer.
Victor Osimhen is greatly admired by Jose Mourinho. Mourinho has faced him numerous times and has praised him on multiple occasions over the years. When Napoli played AS Roma in Italy and Galatasaray played Fenerbahçe in Turkey, Osimhen caused issues for Mourinho’s teams.
As everyone knows, Mourinho has always enjoyed working with African athletes. Over the course of his coaching career, he has overseen a number of elite African players at various clubs, many of whom achieved success and garnered media attention.
In my opinion, Mourinho would need a striker like Victor Osimhen if he wanted to contend for important trophies in Spain and throughout Europe once more.
Next season, Osimhen is the kind of player who can help Real Madrid compete in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Champions League, and all other tournaments.
Victor Osimhen has all he needs to be successful at Real Madrid. Above all, he is a proven goal scorer. He possesses strength, energy, pace, movement, positioning, and aerial ability.
Because he never stops pressing and fighting for every ball, he is the kind of striker that defenders detest.
During the 2022–2023 season, when Napoli won Serie A, Victor Osimhen scored 31 goals and contributed five assists in 39 games across all competitions.
He finished as the league’s top scorer in Serie A alone with 26 goals and 4 assists, helping Napoli win their first league championship in 33 years.
During his first season with Galatasaray in 2024–2025, he also contributed 8 assists and 37 goals in 41 games, helping the team win the domestic double.
Osimhen has scored 22 goals and contributed 8 assists in 33 games this 2026–2027 season, helping Galatasaray win the Turkish Super Lig title for the second consecutive year despite missing a number of games due to injuries.
I am aware that Victor Osimhen has settled down in Turkey, where both the Galatasaray supporters and the club’s management adore, respect, and value him. It will be difficult for him to leave because of the unique bond he has with the fans.
However, I don’t think Galatasaray would be too hesitant to consider the deal if Real Madrid made an offer in the range of €100 million, €120 million, or even €150 million.
I firmly think José Mourinho could be a major factor in Victor Osimhen’s transfer to Real Madrid, but we’ll see how the summer transfer window plays out.
