Victor Osimhen’s future has once again become one of the biggest talking points of the summer transfer window, but fresh comments from Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek suggest the Nigerian striker is not heading anywhere anytime soon.
The Super Eagles star has continued to attract interest from some of Europe’s elite clubs following another impressive season in Turkey. His goalscoring exploits have reportedly put several top sides on alert, with speculation over a possible move dominating headlines in recent weeks.
However, respected Turkish journalist Levent Tüzemen has revealed details of a recent conversation he had with Galatasaray president Özbek, and the message from the club hierarchy was crystal clear.
According to Tüzemen, he directly asked the Galatasaray chief about Osimhen’s situation amid growing transfer rumours. The response left little room for doubt.
Özbek reportedly insisted that the Istanbul giants have no plans to part ways with their prized striker regardless of the offers that may arrive this summer. The club president also outlined Galatasaray’s ambitious objectives, which include challenging for another league title and making a deeper impact in European competition.
Osimhen has established himself as one of the most important players at the club since completing his move from Napoli. The Nigerian international enjoyed another productive campaign, contributing 22 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances across all competitions as Galatasaray continued their domestic dominance.
Those performances have naturally attracted attention from leading clubs across Europe, with reports linking the former Lille forward to several major destinations. Despite the growing interest, Galatasaray’s stance appears unchanged.
Club officials have repeatedly stressed that Osimhen remains central to their long-term project, while previous comments from Özbek have also underlined the club’s determination to keep the Nigerian at Rams Park.
The 27-year-old remains under contract with Galatasaray until 2029, placing the Turkish champions in a strong position as they prepare for another busy transfer window.
While transfer speculation is unlikely to disappear anytime soon, the latest remarks from within the club suggest Galatasaray are prepared to resist any attempt to lure Osimhen away as they build a squad capable of competing at the highest level both domestically and in Europe.
