Turkish football analyst Zeki Uzundurukan has claimed that Galatasaray could be prepared to part ways with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen for a fee in excess of €120 million, amid mounting interest from Europe’s elite clubs.
Osimhen, widely regarded as one of the top five strikers in world football, has enjoyed another outstanding campaign since making his move to the Turkish champions permanent last summer. Despite being contracted to Galatasaray until June 2029, speculation surrounding his future continues to intensify as the season approaches its conclusion.
According to Uzundurukan, speaking on the Libero TV YouTube channel, the Istanbul giants are already weighing up the possibility of cashing in on their prized asset if a suitable offer arrives. “Galatasaray are contemplating the sale of Victor Osimhen for an amount exceeding €120 million,” he revealed. “However, the club must carefully assess whether they can adequately replace him. If Osimhen expresses a desire to leave and the right proposal is tabled, then his departure may become inevitable.”
Osimhen’s consistent performances have not gone unnoticed, with several European heavyweights monitoring his situation closely. Clubs in Spain, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, are reportedly keen admirers, while Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Juventus are also believed to be tracking the striker.
Scouts from these clubs are expected to be present at the highly anticipated Intercontinental Derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe this weekend, where Osimhen will once again be under the spotlight.
The former Napoli forward has contributed significantly to Galatasaray’s campaign, registering 20 goals and seven assists across all competitions. His physical presence, pace, and clinical finishing have made him indispensable to the Turkish champions.
While Galatasaray would ideally prefer to retain their star forward as they aim to maintain domestic dominance and compete in Europe, the financial allure of a record-breaking transfer could ultimately prove decisive in shaping Osimhen’s future.
