Nigeria international Ademola Lookman has reportedly addressed growing speculation linking him with a move to Turkish champions Galatasaray, as rumours continue to suggest that fellow Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen is encouraging the transfer, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
According to Turkish outlet Aspor, Galatasaray have identified Lookman as a key target as they seek to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Istanbul giants are eager to build on their recent domestic dominance and remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions, with Lookman viewed as a player capable of adding pace, creativity and goals to their attack.
Interest in the Nigerian winger comes amid uncertainty over his future at Atlético Madrid. Despite only recently joining the Spanish side, reports indicate that the club could be willing to listen to offers if a suitable bid is submitted.
Turkish reports also claim that Osimhen has personally contacted Lookman in an effort to persuade his international teammate to make the move to Istanbul. The prospect of two of Nigeria's biggest football stars playing together at club level has generated excitement among Galatasaray supporters.
However, Lookman is understood to be taking a cautious approach to the speculation. While reportedly open to considering the move, the 27-year-old has insisted that any discussions regarding personal terms can only take place after Galatasaray and Atlético Madrid reach an agreement.
His stance suggests that he is not dismissing the possibility of a transfer but remains focused on allowing both clubs to handle negotiations before making a final decision.
Galatasaray are believed to be assessing the financial demands of a potential deal, with Lookman reportedly valued at around €40 million. Atlético Madrid's position will be crucial, particularly given the investment made to bring the winger to the club.
With the summer transfer window still open, the situation remains one to monitor closely as speculation surrounding the futures of both Lookman and Osimhen continues to gather momentum.
