…why I’m giving my all for the club-Osimhen
Galatasaray Deputy-President Abdallah Kavukcu has stated that the club has the financial power to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen or any other player they are interested in.
Nigerian hitman Osimhen has quickly become the poster boy for Galatasaray since his season-long loan transfer from Napoli. The 25-year-old striker was alienated from Napoli’s squad, but he has quickly made Galatasaray his home.
He has produced eight goals and four assists in nine appearances for the reigning Turkish champions. And due to his brilliance, there have been talks that the club want to sign him permanently.
However, the problem has been the price. There have been talks that Galatasaray want to offer Napoli €50 million for Osimhen, but the deal could be a financial nightmare for the club, as they do not have the financial muscle to carry both Osimhen’s fee and salary.
But in an interview on Thursday, the Vice-President of the club stated that Galatasaray has the financial power to prosecute any deal they want.
“If Galatasaray wants a player, we will be at that table. Galatasaray has the power to make the right transfers at the points determined by our coach. We have the power to buy more Osimhens,” Kavukcu said, per Forza Cimbom.
Despite the links, Osimhen’s major priority would be sealing a transfer to a big club in one of the top five leagues in Europe.

It could be recalled that the Nigerian and Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen had opened up on why he’s giving his all for the club.
The Nigeria international has been impressive for Galatasaray since joining the club.
Recall also that the star scored twice recently in the Europa League.
Osimhen had led Galatasaray to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in the Europa League penultimate Thursday night.
Speaking after the victory, Osimhen said he is giving all his best on the pitch for Galatasaray because of how the Turkish club treated him and his family in a wonderful manner when he joined them in the summer transfer window.
“Since I came to the Galatasaray, I saw how big a family this club is,” Osimhen said after the match.
“The way they have treated me and my family in a wonderful manner. It’s important to be able to give them my all on the pitch.”
He added, “I’m focused on this team, I’m focused on the objective the club has set and I want to give my all and make sure that we win the league and if we can go further in the Europa League, we can win it also because we have a good squad.”
