Galatasaray’s reported financial package for Victor Osimhen could make it difficult for European clubs to compete for the Nigeria striker, according to Turkish football expert Devrim Zengi.
Softfootball understands that Osimhen remains at the centre of a transfer battle involving major clubs, with Galatasaray keen to retain the forward after his impressive spell in Turkey. The striker became a major figure for the Istanbul club during his loan campaign.
Zengi believes the Turkish giants have put forward an offer that could prove difficult for European suitors to match. That assessment highlights the financial strength Galatasaray may be prepared to deploy to secure a permanent agreement.
Osimhen’s performances have naturally increased his value. His goals, movement and physical presence made him one of the standout attackers in the Turkish Super Lig, while his profile as a Super Eagles star has added further attention to the negotiations.
However, the striker’s future is yet to be settled, and competition remains intense. European clubs have continued to monitor developments, while Saudi interest has also added another option to the equation.
Galatasaray will hope their financial proposal can give them an advantage in the negotiations. More details are expected as the summer transfer window progresses.
