Not Kylian Mbappe But Victor Osimhen Will Have ‘The Biggest Transfer’ in January, Declares Pundit

In the transfer market, the spotlight shines on global sensations like Kylian Mbappe, and an unexpected narrative is starting to unfold. As fans await Mbappe’s potential move, a renowned soccer pundit has declared that it won’t be the Frenchman dominating the headlines with the ‘biggest transfer’ in January. Instead, according to this pundit, the spotlight will illuminate Napoli’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen.

Imagine the electrifying prospect of Osimhen tearing up the Premier League defenses. That, according to the analyst, is the transfer saga primed to steal the show in January. Let’s dive deeper and hear out this latest transfer market development.

Despite Mbappe’s transfer saga, Victor Osimhen takes center stage

In a recent discussion on ESPN FC, Julian Laurens, a prominent French journalist and soccer expert, diverted attention from the Kylian Mbappe saga to Victor Osimhen. When quizzed about the potential blockbuster transfers in the winter, Laurens asserted his confidence in Osimhen and stated that he may be poised to make a significant leap in his career. “I think it would involve someone Like Osimhen for example, Osimhen to Man United, Osimhen to Chelsea, Osimhen to somewhere. This would be the big one, I mean,” Laurens stated.

Laurens emphasized that Victor Osimhen’s deal will also include a huge release clause as well. He labeled this transfer the ‘biggest’ and stated, “I think, even if he signs a new deal, there will be a release clause for 130 million euros but yeah it’s someone like that. Someone like him will move to make this the biggest transfer this January.”

Despite Kylian Mbappe’s heightened transfer speculations, Laurens claims that Victor Osimhen will steal the headlines this winter. He exerted confidence in Osimhen’s transfer and stated that he could be the protagonist of the winter transfer window. This divergence from the Mbappe-centric transfer saga now adds an element of intrigue to the January window.

Is Kylian Mbappe moving closer to Real Madrid?

Contrary to Laurens’ claims, recent reports from El Chiringuito’s Jose Alvarez suggest that the Kylian Mbappe saga is far from over. The famous reporter stated that with every inch of information he has collected from authentic sources, he sees Mbappe as a Real Madrid player very soon. “I can tell you that, with each passing day, I see the forward closer to Madrid. He hasn’t signed anything, but with every piece of information I receive, it makes me see Mbappé closer to Real Madrid.”

As the world eagerly awaits the outcome of the January transfer window, the ball remains firmly in Mbappe’s court. Real Madrid will be keen to hand him over the offer on January 1, as the Frenchman’s contract with PSG is poised to end. With Victor Osimhen also jumping into the dramatic transfer saga, it’ll be interesting to see the next development.
