Amid this ongoing transfer fee impasse, a fresh report has emerged detailing Osimhen’s message to the Galatasaray hierarchy regarding a potential permanent move.
Osimhen's sends a message to Galatasaray's hierarchy
According to a report from Turkish outlet, Nexus Sports, Osimhen has made it clear to Galatasaray's hierarchy that he is willing to stay at the club, provided his transfer fee and desired wage demands are met.
While this news may excite both Osimhen’s fans and Galatasaray supporters, it must be noted that, although these demands may seem straightforward, they could prove to be quite challenging for the club to fulfill.
In addition to the transfer fee, which Galatasaray is still struggling to meet, a report from Forza Cimbom detailed that Osimhen is seeking a salary in the region of €20m to consider making any club move permanent.
Currently, these financial demands are considered too high for Galatasaray to afford. Given the club’s financial constraints, they may ultimately decide to pass on signing the Nigerian forward.
It remains to be seen how Osimhen’s future will unfold, but this is certainly a situation worth monitoring closely.
In a conversation with Legit.ng, Nigerian football expert Emmanuel Chinedu shared his insights on the potential of Osimhen making a permanent move to Galatasaray.
"Galatasaray has the financial capability to secure Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal, but they are fully aware of the circumstances surrounding the Super Eagles forward. However, football is a business, and ultimately, it depends on what the player desires for his future.
The reality is that Osimhen aims to join a club capable of competing for major honours. Therefore, it’s unlikely he will remain in Turkey for long. The upcoming winter transfer window will play a crucial role, as Galatasaray might plan to acquire him now and sell him for a substantial fee next season."
Fenerbahce to frustrate Galatasaray
Legit.ng reported that Fenerbahce will enter the race for Osimhen in an attempt to frustrate their rivals Galatasaray's plans of signing him permanently.
The Jose Mourinho-led side reportedly know that the Nigerian will not play for another Turkish club but intend to ensure that the champions do not fulfil their ambition of signing him.
