Transfer market: Galatasaray shuts the door on a departure for Victor Osimhen.

Galatasaray has sent a clear message to clubs interested in Victor Osimhen: the Nigerian striker is not for sale. The Istanbul club intends to keep its main offensive asset despite the numerous inquiries he is receiving during this summer transfer window. The Nigerian international is particularly rumored to be on the radar of Arsenal and Al-Hilal. The Saudi club reportedly recently expressed its interest in the 27-year-old player, looking to prepare for the departure of Karim Benzema.

Arsenal is also closely monitoring Osimhen’s situation. According to several reports, the Gunners have made inquiries about the striker, and discussions have taken place with Galatasaray regarding a possible transfer. But the Turkish club has reportedly decided to shut the door on all inquiries. According to Erdem Açıkgöz, as relayed by Habersarikirmizi, the management of Galatasaray has reaffirmed its stance regarding the future of its goal scorer. “Our position is clear: no matter what happens, we are not selling Osimhen,” the club is said to have communicated.

Having definitively arrived from Naples last year, Victor Osimhen quickly established himself as one of the key players for Galatasaray. The Nigerian striker notably contributed to the club’s new title in the Süper Lig, won for the second consecutive season. Despite the growing interest from several suitors, Galatasaray thus seems determined to retain its star goal scorer.
