Galatasaray are ready to take Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson if the Blues sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen on a permanent transfer.

This was disclosed by Turkish football expert Serdar Ali Çelikler.

Speaking on the Neo Spor YouTube channel via habersarikirmizi, Ali Çelikler insisted that the Nigeria international is waiting for a move to the English Premier League, EPL, this summer.

“They [Galatasaray ] are also waiting for Osimhen. I think they will wait until August,” Ali Çelikler said.

“Osimhen is not in a hurry and is waiting for a move from England.”

He added, “If Chelsea takes Osimhen, Galatasaray will enter for Nicolas Jackson.

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

Osimhen had a spectacular season-long loan at Galatasaray, winning the Turkish Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup after scoring 37 goals in all competitions for the club.

2026 World Cup: Super Eagles waiting for FIFA’s decision – Iwobi

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
