Galatasaray's decision on Victor Osimhen

Galatasaray, which signed Victor Osimhen on a permanent transfer at the beginning of the season after loaning him from Napoli last season, has drawn the attention of major clubs due to the successful striker's outstanding performance. Osimhen, who has made significant contributions to his team in critical matches in the Süper Lig and the Champions League, has entered the transfer lists of Arsenal from England, Barcelona from Spain, and most recently, PSG from France.

According to reports in the French press, PSG knocked on Galatasaray's door with an offer of 75 million euros for Osimhen. The team's technical staff and management, however, did not look favorably upon this offer and decided that the star player should continue to wear the yellow-red jersey next season.

Galatasaray paid a total of 75 million euros to Napoli for Osimhen's transfer fee and had fully completed the installments of this payment in March. While 15 million euros of the 25-year-old footballer's 21 million euro annual salary is paid by the club, the remaining portion of this amount is covered through sponsors.

HE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Osimhen has made a significant scoring contribution to his team this season, scoring 20 goals and providing 8 assists in a total of 32 matches in a Galatasaray jersey. The current market value of the Nigerian player, who has a contract until 2029, is around 75 million euros according to international football data sites.

It is stated that head coach Okan Buruk is building his plans for next season around Osimhen and that the star player remaining on the team is of critical importance for their championship goals. Despite offers from European giants, it was noted that the Galatasaray management has assigned a major role to Osimhen on the path to the championship.
