Osimhen's willing to stay at Galatasaray

Legit.ng earlier reported that Osimhen 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 fulfil.

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.
