Galatasaray may be forced to consider selling Victor Osimhen this summer if a bid exceeding €120 million (approximately N190 billion) is received, according to Turkish football pundit Zeki Uzundurukan. The Nigerian striker, widely regarded as one of the top five forwards in the world, signed a permanent deal with the Turkish champions last summer and is under contract until June 2029. Despite that long-term commitment, persistent transfer speculation has surrounded Osimhen, with La Liga trio Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid all linked with moves. Uzundurukan, speaking on the Libero TV YouTube channel, stated that Galatasaray is actively weighing the possibility of allowing the former African Footballer of the Year to leave if the right offer arrives. "Galatasaray is considering selling Victor Osimhen for a figure exceeding 120 million euros," he said, as quoted by habersarikirmizi.com. He added that if Osimhen wishes to depart and the club receives its desired fee, there would be little choice but to let him go. Major European clubs including Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Juventus are expected to send scouts to assess Osimhen during Sunday's Intercontinental Derby against Fenerbahçe. The 25-year-old has scored 19 goals and provided 7 assists for Galatasaray this season.
A €120 million valuation for Victor Osimhen assumes his presence is replaceable at Galatasaray, despite him being their top scorer with 19 goals this season. If he leaves, it won't be due to contract expiry or poor performance, but because the club may prioritize a record fee over long-term stability. Osimhen's potential exit would mark a significant moment for a Nigerian star at the peak of his powers. His next move could redefine the trajectory of both his career and Galatasaray's attacking identity.
