Rio Ferdinand is furious after hearing that Galatasaray have signed Osimhen: “50 million pounds is too little”

Having long pursued Osimhen, Galatasaray stepped on the gas as soon as the player signaled approval.
However, their initial offer was reportedly rejected by Napoli, who insist on receiving the full
75 million euros release clause.
NAPOLI NEEDS CASH
Despite the rejection, Napoli is in a tight financial spot. The Serie A side is eager to complete transfers for Beukema from Bologna and Noa Lang from PSV Eindhoven, with Osimhen’s sale seen as key to funding those moves.
AL HILAL WAS ALSO IN THE RACE
Aside from Galatasaray, Saudi club Al Hilal had also submitted an official offer for Osimhen. English clubs were monitoring both Victor Gyökeres and Osimhen during this period, gathering information on the Nigerian’s situation.
FERDINAND LOSES HIS COOL
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, a longtime vocal supporter of Osimhen, has repeatedly insisted the Red Devils should sign the striker. Upon learning that Osimhen accepted Galatasaray’s offer, Ferdinand reportedly lost his temper.
“IT’S A VERY LOW FIGURE”
Now a football pundit, Ferdinand expressed frustration over the transfer, saying:
“I sound like a broken record. Anyone who listens to my podcast knows I’ve been talking about Osimhen for a while now. Today I saw that Galatasaray made a 50 million pound offer. That’s incredibly low in today’s market for a world-class striker — one of the best in the game. If Manchester United are looking for a No.9 and he ends up going to Galatasaray for that price, I’ll be deeply disappointed.”
