The LaLiga side is said to be close to appointing former AS Roma and Chelsea boss José Mourinho as their next manager, with the Portuguese coach already identifying Osimhen as a priority signing.

Mourinho is understood to have long admired the Nigerian striker, dating back to their encounters in Serie A when he managed AS Roma against Napoli.

The experienced manager has also previously compared Osimhen to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, highlighting his physical presence, goal-scoring ability and attacking intelligence.

Reports suggest that Osimhen’s potential arrival could reshape Real Madrid’s attacking structure, allowing stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior to operate more freely in wide positions.

The development has intensified speculation around Osimhen’s future, especially following his successful spell at Galatasaray, where he has continued to attract interest from Europe’s top clubs.
