Galatasaray fed up with Osimhen s behavior Transfer strategy revealed: He’ll wait until the end of August to sign

Having completed the season with a domestic double, Galatasaray is continuing its transfer work at full speed ahead of the new campaign. After signing Leroy Sane as their first major reinforcement, all eyes are now on Victor Osimhen and the goalkeeping situation. Galatasaray has submitted its offer to the Nigerian striker and is now waiting for a response.

“WE’RE WAITING FOR HIS DECISION”

Club president Dursun Özbek, who recently attended the championship celebration in Bodrum, commented on Osimhen when asked by reporters: “Negotiations are ongoing. It’s his decision to make, and we’re waiting. Hopefully, we can head into the new season without breaking apart our squad. We're also working on a goalkeeper. We have 4-5 alternatives. I’ll share it with you once it’s finalized.”

CONTRACT ENDS TODAY

Victor Osimhen’s loan spell at Galatasaray ends today, June 30. The star forward is now obligated to join Napoli’s preseason camp.

STRIKING STATEMENTS

Osimhen, who has not yet made a final decision, will cost Napoli a gross weekly salary of 193,000 euros. Italian outlet Il Mattino published a remarkable piece on the Nigerian forward: “They thought the Nigerian player would be in a hurry to say goodbye to Napoli. But this is shameful, because everyone was sure a solution would have already been found. But that’s not the case. Osimhen is a problem. A serious problem. And no one has yet considered the possibility that the Nigerian striker may not find a solution before the training camp begins on July 17.”

OSIMHEN’S STRATEGY

“Wait until the end of August. By then, no one in the world will pay the 75 million eurosrelease clause, and everyone will think De Laurentiis will be forced to compromise with the club Osimhen may have already agreed with. Yes, that could be the striker’s strategy. He knows nobody at Napoli wants to see him anymore, and he can just keep saying ‘no’ like he has so far. This way, he could force Napoli to offload him at a lower fee. To whom? To a club that doesn’t want to pay the full release clause, in any case.”
