Galatasaray line up Kean and Kolo Muani as alternatives to Osimhen

Galatasaray have reportedly lined up Fiorentina striker Moise Kean and PSG attacker Randal Kolo Muani as alternatives to Victor Osimhen.

Although the Turkish giants are still pushing to sign the Napoli striker, who spent last season on loan at the club, permanently from Napoli this summer.

However, reports in Italy claim that the Turkish giants are also interested in the Italian striker. They are also monitoring Randal Kolo Muani, who also spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Juventus. 

During his loan stint with the club, Osimhen led them to a double title after seeing a permanent move away from Napoli fall through right at the end of the summer transfer window in 2024. 

The Nigerian international scored   37 goals and created eight assists from 41 appearances across all competitions during his time in Istanbul. 

Napoli want their €75m release clause, which is valid in his contract, to be met by any foreign club interested in him, as Galatasaray is trying to bring Osimhen back permanently. 

According to recent reports,  Galatasaray have agreed terms with the striker himself, but their offer in the region of €60m have been turned down by the Italian champions. 

Although Osimhen remains a priority for the Turkish champions, reports in Italy claim that they have two other Serie A options lined up as alternatives to the Nigerian which include Italy international Kean, who netted 25 goals from 44 appearances across all competitions during his first season with La Viola. 

All they need to buy the 25-year-old is to meet €52m release clause in his contract, valid until July 15.

According to TMW, Galatasaray will be willing to pay if their attempts to sign Osimhen fall through.

TMW also reported that Galatasaray are also interested in signing Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain following his successful loan spell with Juventus. 

Although PSG may be open to listening to offers for the French striker as he seems not to be in the plan of Luis Enrique.

However, Juventus are still keen on bringing Kolo Muani back in for the 2025-26 season, despite the recent arrival of Jonathan David.
