Galatasaray Warns Osimhen: 'Time Running Out' for Permanent Move
Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has issued a warning to Victor Osimhen the Nigerian striker must now make up his mind, as "time is running out" to finalise a permanent transfer from Napoli. The club has tabled an ambitious offer rumoured at around €70 million plus incentives with backing from Pasifik Holding, and its chief stressed that Osimhen needs to decide soon whether he intends to stay in Istanbul or explore other options.
With 26 goals in 30 Süper Lig appearances and 35 across all competitions, Osimhen was crowned the league’s Golden Boot winner and led Galatasaray to a domestic double. Despite this success, interest from clubs in the Premier League, Serie A, and Saudi Pro League continues to mount.
Galatasaray have insisted that negotiations are ongoing but currently remain focused on on-field objectives Özbek emphasised the season’s final matches remain the club’s top priorities. Meanwhile, Osimhen himself stated his commitment to Galatasaray until season’s end, promising to make a definitive decision by April.
Now the clock is ticking either Osimhen confirms a future in yellow and red, or his spectacular season may serve as a final audition for suitors elsewhere.
Editorial
We believe Özbek’s message signals urgency. Osimhen has delivered a scintillating campaign dominating the Süper Lig and igniting Galatasaray’s title charge. Now, the club must secure his future before interest from Europe and the Gulf reaches fever pitch.
We argue that momentum must be matched with action. Galatasaray’s strategy investing heavily, fostering infrastructure, and offering ambitious contracts must be backed by resolving the Osimhen question. A decisive outcome would galvanise planning, recruitment, fan confidence, and sponsorship.
