Galatasaray not ready to sell Victor Osimhen — Dursun Özbek

Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has dismissed reports linking Victor Osimhen with a summer exit, insisting the Turkish champions have no intention of selling the striker.

Osimhen has attracted interest from several top European clubs after helping Galatasaray win the Turkish Super Lig title. Teams reportedly monitoring the Nigerian forward include Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli and quickly became a key figure for the Yellow-Reds.

“We initially signed Victor Osimhen on loan, and he performed magnificently,” Özbek told Fanatik.

“He loves Galatasaray and Turkey very much. He said he would stay at Galatasaray, and we started talking with Napoli.

“We don’t intend to sell Victor Osimhen. Putting a price on a player you don’t intend to sell is like dressing a footballer before he’s even born.”

Osimhen is reportedly valued at around €150 million.
