Real Madrid Transfers: 3 alternatives if Kylian Mbappe renews with PSG
By Sudhir Salvi
VICTOR OSIMHEN
Victor Osimhen is a player that is going under the radar this season. The Napoli forward has scored eight goals and provided one assist in all competitions for the Serie A outfit this season as they have maintained a 100% winning start to the Italian top flight and are top of the pile after eight matches. He is a player to look out for during the 2021/22 season as he may be in for a big transfer just two years on from arriving in Naples from Lille.
Osimhen is a true goal-scorer with a physique to brush away the best of defenders and his height of close to two metres makes him a solid aerial target as well. Logically speaking, if a player can score as many goals as he has in Serie A, arguably the world’s most defensive league, he will almost certainly be a success in offensive teams like Real Madrid.
The Nigerian does not have quite the talismanic or marketing appeal as Mbappe or Haaland do due to the media attention, but arriving at Real Madrid with the stature of a galactico automatically ensures that a player becomes marketable. Osimhen is also only 22 years old and has a long career ahead of him. That said, Madrid must only be aware of his abilities early on and scout him well enough so that they don’t buy him unless he’s actually as good as we think he is.
