Turkey: Two things Galatasaray will offer Osimhen to block summer move

Galatasaray are pulling all the strings to ensure they keep Victor Osimhen beyond this summer.

Osimhen is attracting interest from Europe’s top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.

But the Turkish champions are desperate to keep the Super Eagles striker and have already turned down bids of up to €125 million.

Galatasaray especially want to keep Osimhen, as Mauro Icardi is set to leave after his contract expires this month.

Icardi’s departure would leave the squad short on strikers.

Galatasaray are prepared to offer Osimhen both the captain’s armband and the iconic No. 9 jersey — currently occupied by Icardi — as part of a retention strategy.

This is designed to give Osimhen a deeper emotional and symbolic investment in the club’s future.
