'What I've heard' - Expert claims Galatasaray will move for Jackson if Osimhen joins Chelsea

Galatasaray are prepared to make a significant move in the transfer market, with Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson emerging as a key target should Napoli’s Victor Osimhen secure a move to the Blues. 

Turkish football exert Serdar Ali Çelikler, speaking on the Neo Spor YouTube channel via habersarikirmizi.com,  revealed the Turkish club’s strategic plans.

"They are also waiting for Osimhen. I think they will wait until August. Osimhen is not in a hurry and is waiting for a move from England,” Çelikler stated, outlining Galatasaray’s patient approach. 

Osimhen, widely regarded as one of Europe’s top strikers, is reportedly holding out for a transfer to England, with Chelsea among the frontrunners. 

Should this deal materialize, Galatasaray are ready to capitalize.

Çelikler emphasized: "If Chelsea takes Osimhen, Galatasaray will enter for Nicolas Jackson." 

The Senegalese forward, who played a key role in Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League triumph, has caught the attention of Galatasaray’s management.

"What I have heard is that if Chelsea gets Osimhen, Galatasaray will also get Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. 

"I am saying this now. He is a player I like very much. He had a good season this year,” Çelikler added, underscoring Jackson's appeal as a goal-scorer.

As a contingency, Galatasaray has identified Brazilian striker Romulo as a ‘serious candidate’ should the Jackson deal falter. 

This dual approach highlights the club’s determination to strengthen their attacking line for the 2025/26 season, aiming to maintain their dominance in the Turkish Süper Lig and compete in European competitions.
