Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly turned down a bid from Galatasaray, a Turkish team
willing to activate his €75 million release clause and pay a generous salary package.
Osimhen’s decision, which was originally announced by Gazzetta dello Sport
and subsequently published by other European publications, indicates that he is still focused on a possible transfer to the English Premier League,
where he is rumoured to have had long-held playing aspirations.
“There is no agreement between his desires and reality,” the Gazzetta report noted,
referencing Osimhen’s preference for the Premier League over other options currently available to him.
Meanwhile, recall that the 26-year-old forward recently completed a high-scoring loan spell at Galatasaray,
netting 37 goals across competitions.
