Bülent Tulun, one of the former executives of Galatasaray, evaluated the agenda of the yellow-reds on Ajansspor. Tulun made statements that will be widely discussed regarding the future of the loaned striker Victor Osimhen, for whom Cimbom has been working hard to acquire his transfer rights.

"MERTENS MAY JOIN BURUK'S TEAM"

Stating that Dries Mertens may join Okan Buruk's coaching staff at the end of the season, Tulun said, "Mertens is a very ethical player. He has a strong background, and he has performed his duties well at Galatasaray. I think he is retiring at the end of the season. He could be part of Okan Buruk's team. He is a very decent person and would be beneficial. He is an important international player. He can speak two or three languages. He knows Turkey. He would contribute a lot," he expressed.

"OSIMHEN WILL STAY AT GALATASARAY"

Claiming that Victor Osimhen will stay at Galatasaray, Tulun said, "Osimhen is an amazing person and an amazing player. Contributing to the team and playing like a 40-year Galatasaray fan in such a short time is something only a great player can do. Osimhen will stay at Galatasaray. It is very possible. He is very happy here," he said.

"WITH THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF CERTAIN PEOPLE, ALL RIGHTS CAN BE ACQUIRED"

Stating that Galatasaray can acquire Osimhen's transfer rights with the contributions of certain people, Tulun said, "He has gained sympathy not only with his football but also with his behavior. I think he is very happy to be living in Istanbul. Galatasaray is going very positively financially. All rights can be acquired with the contributions of certain Galatasaray people. If Osimhen says, 'I want to stay at Galatasaray,' I wouldn't be surprised. As far as I heard, the amount being discussed with Napoli for all rights is between 70 and 80 million euros. Osimhen's salary is between 10 and 15 million euros. He has great friendships, and people love him. Of course, the final decision will be made by the Galatasaray management," he stated.

"MUSLERA WILL SAY GOODBYE, HE MAY RETURN TO ITALY"

Bülent Tulun, who managed Fernando Muslera's Galatasaray process in the summer of 2011, claimed that the Uruguayan goalkeeper will say goodbye to the yellow-reds at the end of the season. Speaking about Muslera's next destination, Tulun said, "I don't think he will return to his country. He may return to Italy; he has a plan to live there. It's a possibility. He came to us from Lazio. He has been guarding Galatasaray's goal for 14 years. He has been very successful. It is very difficult to find a foreign player who has played successfully for such a long time. There are offers from Argentina and Mexico. He will play for one more year in one of these countries and then say goodbye to football," he evaluated.

THE DIDIER DROGBA INCIDENT

Bülent Tulun stated that the Galatasaray management was upset with Didier Drogba for sending a support message to Mourinho, saying, "The management's failure to celebrate Drogba's birthday was influenced by the Mourinho issue, but Mourinho is the important figure in Drogba reaching these points. These are things that happen in football," he explained.

"UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONSHIP WOULD BE MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL"

Finally, Tulun pointed out that Galatasaray has two tough away games in the championship race, saying, "One is the away game against Beşiktaş, the other is against Samsunspor. There are also three draws allowed. I believe Galatasaray will not lose in the remaining weeks. I think Galatasaray's chance of winning the championship is 80 percent. An undefeated championship would be much more meaningful. It will be the most important part of Okan Buruk's CV. Previously, Galatasaray had an undefeated second place," he concluded.
