130 million euro offer for Osimhen to Galatasaray: Dursun Özbek instantly rejected it
Al-Hilal's 130 million euro offer for Victor Osimhen was quickly turned down by Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek.
It was claimed that a massive offer of 130 million euros arrived from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal for Galatasaray's star striker Victor Osimhen. This astronomical figure for the Nigerian forward, who started the season with a strong performance, caused a major stir in club circles.
However, President Dursun Özbek rejected the offer on the table in a short time without even needing to evaluate it. It is reported that the management anticipates that offers in the range of 150-200 million euros could come in for the in-form Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window, and that they are determined to keep the player in the squad this season.
Osimhen, who has not had any injury problems this season and is expected to contribute to the team throughout the entire season due to not participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, drew attention with 4 goals and 1 assist in the first two weeks of the league. The Yellow-Reds also secured their first victory of the season during this period, defeating Erzurumspor FK 4-0 away from home.
Galatasaray, which had a quieter summer on the transfer front, became more active towards the end of the season. The club transferred Lesley Ugochukwu from Burnley on loan with an option to buy, and then also added Russian playmaker Aleksei Batrakov from Lokomotiv Moscow to its squad.
