Euro club ready €120m for Osimhen

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen remains a subject of intense transfer speculation, with reports indicating a European club is prepared to submit a €120 million offer to Galatasaray for the forward this summer.

Despite the substantial offer, Turkish champions Galatasaray maintain they have no plans to let Osimhen depart. Turkish football transfer specialist Burhan Can Terzi reported that an unnamed club has communicated its willingness to meet the €120 million fee to Galatasaray officials, but the club has not responded favorably, signaling their desire to retain the player.

Osimhen, 27, enjoyed a highly successful season with Galatasaray after his permanent transfer, netting 22 goals and providing eight assists in 33 appearances across all competitions. His performances have attracted interest from several major European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid.

A European club has informed Galatasaray officials that they are willing to pay a transfer fee of €120m for Osimhen. Galatasaray management did not provide a favourable response. Should Galatasaray approve negotiations, a formal offer will be submitted.

Galatasaray's president, Dursun Ozbek, has firmly stated the club's position. Turkish football pundit Nevzat Dindar relayed Ozbek's message, emphasizing that the club has no intention of selling Osimhen. While acknowledging offers of €120 million through intermediaries, Ozbek stressed these are not concrete and the priority is for Osimhen to stay. However, if Osimhen himself decides to leave, Galatasaray will not entertain offers below €150 million. Crucially, Osimhen also reportedly has no intention of leaving the club.

This stance from Galatasaray, setting a minimum asking price of €150 million, is likely to deter all but the wealthiest clubs. Nevertheless, interest in one of Europe's most prolific strikers is expected to intensify as the summer transfer window progresses.

I spoke with the president in Kemerburgaz. He absolutely does not intend to sell Osimhen. There are offers worth €120m through intermediaries, but they are not concrete. The priority is for Osimhen to stay with the team. But if Osimhen wants to leave, Galatasaray will not accept an offer below €150m. Osimhen also has no intention of leaving.
