The forward’s hefty price tag has since been a source of concern for followers of Galatasaray although teams like Chelsea and Manchester United are still interested in signing him.
Why Galatasaray cannot afford Osimhen
Meanwhile, Turkish coach Yilmaz Vural believes Galatasaray should forget about signing Osimhen permanently as his price tag is too much a price to pay for just one striker, Brila reports.
“Victor Osimhen is a magnificent footballer. He can pass people with his dribble, he has incredible control over aerial balls. He is a real centre forward and his technical and physical characteristics are very good.
“However, 75 million Euros is really too much. Our big teams like Galatasaray should acquire names like Barış Alper Yılmaz and Kerem Aktürkoğlu from the lower leagues.”
Galatasaray have indicated interest in keeping Osimhen when his loan deal expires next summer and is considering other options like taking a loan to finance the deal for the striker.
