Transfer: Galatasaray President Shares His Reasons for Selling Osimhen – Tüzemen

Turkish journalist Levent Tüzemen has revealed the details of a conversation he had with Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek about the future of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

The discussion came as the summer transfer window nears and questions arise about where the former African Footballer of the Year will continue his career.

Osimhen finished another impressive season in Turkey, netting 22 goals and supplying eight assists in 33 matches across all competitions for Galatasaray.

His consistent form has drawn interest from several top European clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

According to Tüzemen, when he asked Özbek about Osimhen’s status, the club president made it clear that the striker is not for sale.

“I asked Dursun Özbek about Osimhen; he responded, ‘Regardless of the offers we receive, I will not sell him. Our goal is to secure our 27th championship,’” he said on the Libero TV YouTube channel, as reported by habersarikirmizi.

“They expressed their ambition to reach the top 8 in Europe, or even the semi-finals. The team will be structured accordingly.”

Osimhen signed a permanent contract with the club last summer and is tied to the Istanbul side until the end of the 2028‑29 season.
