Real Madrid move to capture Osimhen

Some senior figures at Real Madrid believe the club should sign Victor Osimhen and not Kylian Mbappe, according to FootballTransfers.

The feeling is that Osimhen is a player closer in style to Karim Benzema and he’s more suited to the way Madrid play football.

FootballTransfers has been told by a well-connected source that “the more mature and wise people at Madrid” believe that Osimhen represents a better bet for the club.

The Napoli striker, who is also a top target for several Premier League clubs, will also cost the Spanish club less than Mbappe because of the huge bonuses and signing-on fees they will have to cough out for the France World Cup star.

Mbappe will join Madrid as a free agent if he does not sign for Ligue 1 club PSG at the end of his current contract.

He has been linked with the Spanish giants since 2017, when he joined PSG from Monaco
