The future of Victor Osimhen, who was loaned from Napoli to Galatasaray at the beginning of the season, is a topic of curiosity. The 26-year-old Nigerian striker's contract with the Italian club will expire in 2026, and a salary offer of 120 million euros for 3 years from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia complicates the transfer. Osimhen is expected to evaluate this offer professionally.
The time has come for a decision regarding Victor Osimhen, who was loaned from Napoli at the beginning of the season and has been a real opportunity transfer for Galatasaray.
In response to questions about his future, which he has been asked at every opportunity, Osimhen pointed to the end of the season, and it was reported that he would hold a press conference yesterday. However, it was announced that Osimhen's press conference was canceled.
WHAT DECISION WILL HE MAKE?
While this situation confuses minds, Galatasaray is also waiting for a response from the Nigerian striker. The 26-year-old Nigerian forward, whose contract with the Italian club will expire in 2026, officially led the team to the 5th star with 36 goals and 8 assists in the 40 matches he played for Galatasaray. The goal-scoring player, who has become a favorite among the fans, continuing his career at Galatasaray comes with a significant financial cost.
Napoli's demand for a transfer fee of 75 million euros, combined with the salary to be offered to the star striker, reaches a considerable amount. Despite this, Galatasaray is ready to make sacrifices, but offers from Saudi Arabia complicate the situation.
Al-Hilal's offer of 120 million euros in salary for 3 years and their desire to finalize this transfer before the match against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup on June 18 has disrupted all balances in the transfer.
120 MILLION EUROS FOR 3 YEARS
The 26-year-old player is extremely pleased with the love he has received at Galatasaray and is ready to make sacrifices, but he is also confused due to family pressure. His close circle advises Osimhen to evaluate the offers with his mind rather than his heart.
It is emphasized that there is always a risk of injury in football, and the 120 million euros over 3 years from Saudi Arabia, which amounts to 40 million euros annually, is expected to be evaluated professionally.
