Utaka Sends Strong Transfer Message To Osimhen Amid Real Madrid Interest

Published

on

Former Super Eagles winger John Utaka has advised Victor Osimhen to consider a move to Real Madrid if José Mourinho is appointed as manager of the Spanish giants and expresses interest in signing the Nigerian striker.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Osimhen is currently completing his second season at Galatasaray, where he played a crucial role in securing the club’s 26th league title.

The Nigerian forward has been in impressive form this season, recording 15 goals and five assists in 22 league appearances, further strengthening his status as one of Europe’s most in-demand strikers.

Transfer rumours surrounding the 25-year-old have remained constant over the past three summer windows, with several top clubs monitoring his situation.

Recent reports from Spain suggest that Mourinho, who is currently managing Benfica, is in discussions with Real Madrid over a possible return to the Santiago Bernabéu.

The Portuguese tactician is being considered as a potential option to stabilise the team following a challenging campaign under Xabi Alonso and Álvaro Arbeloa.

A possible squad overhaul at Madrid could open the door for a new striker signing, with Utaka backing Osimhen as an ideal fit for Mourinho’s system.

“If I were Osimhen, I would go because if Mourinho has requested him, it means he really wants him. Osimhen wants to win trophies and Real Madrid is a perfect fit,” Utaka said via Brila.

Mourinho has followed Osimhen’s development closely for years, having faced him in Serie A during his time at AS Roma while Osimhen played for Napoli. The Portuguese coach has previously compared him to Didier Drogba, although he has also publicly criticised aspects of his play.

Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, with Barcelona also reportedly interested in securing his signature ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Catalan club are said to view him as an alternative to Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, who carries a valuation of around €200 million.

Galatasaray, however, are reluctant to sell and are believed to have placed a €150 million price tag on the Nigerian striker amid growing transfer interest.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
