Galatasaray set to trigger Osimhen’s release clause
Turkish giants Galatasaray are reportedly set to trigger the €75m release clause of Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, in order to make his loan move permanent at the end of the season, NewsNGR Sports Extra reports.
According to Nexus, Galatasaray’s management has decided to make a bold move to permanently secure Osimhen’s services owing to his immense value following his stellar performances in the Süper Lig.
The 26-year-old has been in sensational form, netting 20 goals and providing four assists in 22 league matches since joining the club.
Since securing the services of Osimhen on loan from Napoli, Galatasaray have made their interest to keep the player permanently known but they have to rival other clubs, particularly in the English Premier League.
Osimhen, who rejected a move to Chelsea in the summer has been tipped for a move to Manchester United with Arsenal also said to be interested in paying the €75m release clause.
While he is enjoying a new lease of life in Turkey, the striker is also uncertain if he would be at the club next season.
“To be honest, I don’t know. A few months ago, nobody thought I would come here,” Osimhen told journalists in the mixed zone after their goalless draw against Fenerbahce.
“I never believed I would come to a club as big as Galatasaray. For me, I live for the moment. We will see what is going to happen in the summer and I want everybody to understand that I love this club so much and everyone associated with the club.
“It’s really a big privilege to be here and I’m really enjoying my time here.”
Amid reports about the Premier League moves, Roma legend Roberto Pruzzo also said reliable sources have told him Victor Osimhen will join Juventus in the summer transfer window.
