The Super Lig giant Galatasaray has taken action to acquire Victor Osimhen's transfer rights. President Dursun Özbek has given the order for this major transfer move.
The campaign for Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray has officially begun. The Yellow-Reds are determined to gather the astronomical transfer fee for the Nigerian star.
Not wanting to miss out on Osimhen, whose value has increased in an environment where Mauro Icardi's absence keeps the team at the top of the championship race and the Argentine star's return this summer remains uncertain, Galatasaray found a solution in a sponsorship operation.
PRESIDENT GAVE THE ORDER
President Dursun Özbek instructed all his executives to bring a different sponsor to the club and to collectively gather this money.
FANS ARE READY TOO
On the other hand, Galatasaray fans are also ready to contribute in every way for Osimhen's transfer fee. As clearly expressed not only through support messages on social media but also in interviews given after matches, the Yellow-Reds want a campaign to be launched as soon as possible. The management will continue to seek solutions to resolve the process. Meanwhile, contacts with Osimhen will be kept warm in line with the player's own views.
FELL TO 65 MILLION EUROS
Although Napoli is keen to offload Osimhen, with whom they have definitively burned bridges, Galatasaray is not the only club in the running. As a reminder, the main issue between the two sides began when Chelsea's €90 million offer was rejected by Napoli. During the summer, Osimhen's release clause was €130 million, and the Italian club wanted this amount to be paid.
While negotiations were ongoing, as the transfer window closed in Europe, Osimhen headed to Galatasaray, but before the rental contract was signed, the star striker's release clause was reduced to €75 million. According to claims in the Italian press, this amount will be €65 million by next summer. Galatasaray, which added the player to its squad without paying a rental fee and only covering his €6 million salary, will also make an annual salary offer of €10 million in addition to the astronomical transfer fee.
