Galatasaray president turns down Osimhen sale despite Arsenal, Al-Hilal bids
Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has said the club will not sell striker Victor Osimhen, even though Arsenal and Al-Hilal have shown interest this summer. Speaking to 343 Digital, Ozbek stressed that he will not agree to any deal that does not benefit Galatasaray, adding that no price is high enough to make him consider selling the Nigerian international. Osimhen's current contract with the Turkish side runs until June 30, 2029.
For Nigerian fans, this means Osimhen is likely to remain a key part of Galatasaray's attack and continue representing the Super Eagles on the club stage. His presence boosts both team morale and the pride of seeing a Nigerian star thrive in Europe's competitive leagues.
The club's firm stance sends a clear message to interested suitors: any negotiation must meet Galatasaray's valuation and terms, or the player stays put. With the transfer window still open, Arsenal and Al-Hilal may need to look elsewhere or prepare a serious offer that satisfies the president's conditions.
Will Osimhen's decision to stay galvanize his performance for Galatasaray and the Super Eagles, or will persistent interest from big clubs eventually test the club's resolve?
