Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman is reportedly willing to consider a move to Turkish champions Galatasaray as speculation surrounding his future continues to intensify.
According to reports from Turkey, the Nigerian international has responded positively to interest from the Istanbul-based club but is leaving the next step in the hands of the two clubs involved.
Galatasaray Intensify Pursuit
Galatasaray are understood to be exploring options to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign after another dominant season in Turkish football.
The club recently secured a fourth consecutive Süper Lig title and is now looking to reinforce its attacking department as preparations begin for another domestic and European challenge.
Lookman has emerged as one of the names high on the club’s transfer shortlist.
Osimhen Reportedly Involved
Reports in Turkey suggest fellow Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has played a role in Galatasaray’s pursuit of Lookman.
Osimhen, who continues to be linked with a long-term stay in Istanbul, is believed to have discussed the possibility of a move with his international teammate.
The prospect of two of Nigeria’s biggest football stars lining up together for Galatasaray has generated excitement among supporters.
Transfer Depends on Club Agreement
Despite the growing interest, reports indicate that Lookman has made it clear that any potential move will depend on negotiations between Galatasaray and Atlético Madrid.
The winger is reportedly under contract with the Spanish club until 2030 and remains committed to his current obligations.
Sources claim Lookman has informed interested parties that discussions should first take place between the clubs before personal terms can be considered.
That stance has been viewed as a positive signal by Galatasaray officials, who are now assessing whether a deal is financially feasible.
Financial Challenge Remains
One of the key obstacles could be the transfer fee required to secure the Nigerian’s services.
Reports suggest Lookman is valued at approximately €40 million, a figure that would represent a significant investment for the Turkish champions.
Meanwhile, other clubs are also monitoring developments, with rival Turkish side Fenerbahçe reportedly keeping a close watch on the situation.
Future Still Uncertain
While no formal agreement has been announced, the latest reports indicate that Galatasaray remain interested in pushing forward with negotiations.
For now, the possibility of seeing Osimhen and Lookman playing together at club level remains dependent on whether the Turkish champions can convince Atlético Madrid to approve a transfer.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Lookman’s future is expected to remain one of the major talking points involving Nigerian footballers in Europe.
