Atlético de Madrid has declined the incorporation of Victor Osimhen, the forward from Galatasaray, after receiving an offer from his agents in this summer market. The "colchonero" team is still watching the forward market, although everything will depend on their current strikers.

The player's intermediaries presented to the red-and-white board the possibility of a transfer for 75 million euros and a considerable salary reduction compared to his current contract in Turkey. However, the presence of Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth in the squad led the club to reject the proposal.

The stance of Atlético de Madrid on Victor Osimhen's valuation

As reported by Club Uría, Osimhen's representatives directly contacted the Madrid sports commission to propose his arrival at the Metropolitano for 75 million euros. The Nigerian international currently receives a high salary in Galatasaray due to tax exemptions in Turkey, but he was willing to lower his earnings to work under Diego Simeone's orders.

Atlético de Madrid's management rejected entering into negotiations, doubting that the Turkish club would accept a sale at the presented amount. Additionally, the club does not have the financial margin to take on an expense of 75 million euros without first making transfers during this transfer window.

The presence of Julián Álvarez hinders Osimhen's arrival

CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has decided that Julián Álvarez will remain the offensive reference of the squad for the 2026/2027 season. With the Argentine international's position secured and Alexander Sørloth's continuity among the strikers, the sports management considers the center-forward position saturated.

Metropolitano's management informed the player's representatives from Galatasaray that they will not engage in new attacking operations unless significant players depart. For this reason, the club will not hold meetings to discuss the striker's salary demands until rotation spots are freed up.

Atlético de Madrid's executives will keep their focus on other priority positions during the second week of August. Unless a formal offer is received for the transfer of Julián Álvarez or Sørloth before August 31, Atlético de Madrid will not enter negotiations with the Istanbul club for the Nigerian striker.
