Galatasaray pursues Franculino Dju and faces Manchester United interest in Victor Osimhen

Galatasaray Franculino Dju Victor Osimhen Manchester United transfer

Galatasaray, after ending its partnership with Mauro Icardi, has opened talks with Danish club Midtjylland for forward Franculino Dju. The 22‑year‑old striker, 1.86 m tall, scored 22 goals and three assists in 34 league matches last season, and his contract runs to 2029. Galatasaray estimates a transfer fee around €30 million and values him at roughly €22 million, noting that he satisfies the club’s 10+4 foreign‑player rule under‑23 quota.

At the same time, several Spanish and English media outlets report that Manchester United is targeting Galatasaray’s star forward Victor Osimhen. Osimhen, under contract with Galatasaray until 2029, is valued at about €75 million after recording 59 goals and 16 assists in 74 appearances. Rumours of a €100 million United bid have been dismissed by Galatasaray, but reports cite technical director Michael Carrick’s interest in a striker capable of delivering 30 goal contributions per season.
