IVictor Osimhen's future continues to dominate the international transfer market. Among the rumors that link him to clubs of the caliber of Juventus, Liverpool and his current club, Napoli, only one thing is certain: his categorical refusal of the pharaonic proposals arriving from Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray, the team with which the Nigerian striker shone last season, winning the championship and the top scorer title, has decided to speed things up and has issued a real ultimatum to the player.
According to Turkish sports daily Fanatik, Galatasaray officials have contacted Osimhen directly, who is currently in Nigeria for his summer holidays.
The message is clear and peremptory: an immediate decision is needed. The club reiterated that osimhen remains the first choice to strengthen the offensive department, but he also underlined the urgency of closing the operation quickly so as not to compromise the planning of next season.
Turkish pressure: “Our time is running out”
This decisive move comes after recent statements by Galatasaray vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu, who had already warned: “We have presented him with an offer higher than those of European clubs, but our time is running out”.
Rumours suggest that Galatasaray have already reached a basic agreement with Napoli for the transfer, but the crucial issue remains the player's will.
The message delivered to Osimhen would have been unequivocal: "You are our priority in attack. After the holidays, sit down with us at the table and we will make a decision, positive or negative. If everything drags on any longer, we risk compromising our plans."
The fate of the African striker is therefore hanging by a thread, between the European sirens and the insistent pressure of a club that wants him to be the absolute protagonist and in a short time. The next few weeks will be decisive to understand where Victor Osimhen will play next season.
