Atletico Madrid rejects a €75 million offer for Victor Osimhen, who admires coach Diego Simeone. The Madrid club does not have the financial liquidity to complete a deal of this magnitude at present. The role envisioned for Osimhen overlaps with that of Julian Alvarez, and the club intends to keep the Argentine. Osimhen, 27, earned a strong salary at Galatasaray, which is boosted by Turkey's tax exemption for foreign residents in their first 20 years. The striker has expressed his admiration for Atletico Madrid's style of play and identity, which reflects their ability to create scoring opportunities. The Madrid club, which finished fourth in the final 2025 table with 57 points and a recent form of LLLWW, is in a delicate position in the title race. Currently, Atletico Madrid is 22 points behind the leaders Barcelona. The team's next fixture will be against Malaga in a match of the 5th round of the 2026-2027 La Liga.
