While Real Madrid is reportedly starting talks with Jose Mourinho for the head coach position, it has been claimed that the Portuguese manager's first transfer target is Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen.
The managerial agenda at Real Madrid, who lost the LaLiga title to Barcelona and made an early exit from the Champions League, has heated up. While it is claimed that the Spanish giant has begun talks with Jose Mourinho, it is suggested that the Portuguese coach's first transfer target is Victor Osimhen.
XABI ALONSO ERA WAS SHORT-LIVED
It has been reported that Real Madrid, who started the season under Xabi Alonso's management, parted ways with the Spanish coach following internal team issues and heavy defeats against Barcelona.
It was stated that the club temporarily appointed Castilla coach Alvaro Arbeloa, but the management has turned to Jose Mourinho for a long-term plan.
MOURINHO'S OSIMHEN DEMAND
According to reports in the French press, Jose Mourinho has conveyed his first transfer request to the Real Madrid management. It is claimed that the Portuguese coach wants Victor Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray, to be added to the squad. It is suggested that Mourinho plans to build a new structure with a star striker in the attacking line.
GALATASARAY SIDE NOT FAVORING DEPARTURE
The report stated that the Galatasaray management wants to keep Victor Osimhen in the team despite interest from European giants. However, it was indicated that the yellow-reds might sit down for talks if an astronomical offer is made. Osimhen has recently been linked with major European clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.
SEASON PERFORMANCE DREW ATTENTION
Victor Osimhen has scored 22 goals and provided 8 assists in 33 official matches for Galatasaray this season. The Nigerian star has been one of the most important figures in the yellow-red team's championship pursuit.
