The battle for Victor Osimhen is gathering pace, with Galatasaray S.K. reportedly receiving another €120 million (around ₦189 billion) offer for the Nigerian striker.
According to Turkish transfer insider Serhan Türk, the Turkish champions now have two separate €120 million proposals on the table. One is believed to have come from a leading European club, while the other is from an unnamed club in the Saudi Pro League.
The latest development comes after reports linked Atlético Madrid with a €120 million move for the Super Eagles forward. Another unnamed European side has also reportedly submitted a verbal offer worth €125 million.
Despite the growing interest, Galatasaray are standing firm. The Turkish champions have made it clear that Osimhen is not a player they are eager to lose this summer.
Galatasaray Want to Build Around Osimhen
Club president Dursun Özbek reportedly values the Nigerian international at €150 million and has no plans to begin negotiations with interested clubs.
Instead, Galatasaray are preparing a long-term contract that would keep Osimhen in Istanbul until 2029. The proposed deal is expected to include a significant salary increase, reflecting his status as the club’s biggest star.
The club’s confidence is understandable after Osimhen enjoyed an outstanding campaign. The 27-year-old scored 22 goals and registered eight assists in 33 appearances across all competitions, playing a decisive role as Galatasaray retained the Turkish Süper Lig title.
Bigger Role Planned for the Super Eagles Star
Galatasaray are reportedly ready to place even greater responsibility on Osimhen next season.
With Mauro Icardi expected to leave, the Nigerian striker is set to become the focal point of the team’s attack. Club officials are also considering handing him the captain’s armband, while the iconic No. 9 shirt could become his as another sign of his importance.
Beyond rewarding Osimhen individually, Galatasaray are planning to strengthen the squad ahead of next season by signing a top-quality midfielder as they aim to compete more strongly in the UEFA Champions League.
The message from the club is clear: they want Osimhen to lead the next phase of their project rather than cash in on him.
Saudi Millions or European Ambition?
Saudi clubs continue to monitor Osimhen’s situation and are reportedly willing to offer a salary exceeding $50 million per season.
However, the Super Eagles striker has consistently been linked with a desire to remain in Europe, where he still hopes to compete at the highest level. A move to the English Premier League has long been regarded as one of his career ambitions, although no English club has made a formal breakthrough in the race.
Galatasaray remain determined to keep their prized asset, but with multiple nine-figure offers reportedly arriving from Europe and Saudi Arabia, Osimhen’s future is shaping up to be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer.
