Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed the only secret to signing Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen has been the subject of transfer speculation this season following an impressive loan spell at Galatasaray.
The Super Eagles star failed to get his dream move during the summer despite being linked with a move to the likes of PSG and Chelsea.
However, he had to settle for a loan deal with Galatasaray after clubs could not meet Napoli’s transfer demands.

Report: Arsenal abandon Victor Osimhen pursuit, eye red-hot Wolves star instead
Arsenal appears to be shifting its focus from pursuing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to targeting a player from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Fabrizio speaks on Osimhen’s move
The Italian journalist said in his GiveMeSport column that for the interested parties to agree to pay Osimhen's enormous salary, they must trigger his updated €70 million release clause.
Fabrizio said, “I’m not aware of concrete talks taking place, despite links with Manchester United.
“The situation remains quiet at the moment; the only way to change it is to trigger the clause into his Napoli contract (he’s on loan at Galatasaray) and also reach an agreement on a salary close to €11m net per season. Not an easy one.”
Osimhen is still wanted by Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, but will need to find a way to sign the striker in January.
The forward has continued to score goals for Okan Buruk's team, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 15 games across all competitions.
The 25-year-old scored a brace to help Galatasaray to a 5-1 win over Kayserispor in the Super Lig.
