Galatasaray Official Claims Club Can Afford Multiple Osimhens

Galatasaray Deputy President Abdallah Kavukcu has boldly declared the club’s financial capability to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen or any other player of their choosing, according to Soccernet.ng. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli, has rapidly become a key player for the Turkish champions. The 25-year-old Super Eagles forward, sidelined from Napoli’s squad earlier this season, has found a new home in Turkey, delivering remarkable performances. In just nine appearances for Galatasaray, Osimhen has contributed eight goals and four assists, cementing his status as one of the most impactful players in the Turkish Süper Lig. His impressive displays have sparked conversations about the club’s intentions to secure him on a permanent deal. Despite the strong desire to keep the prolific striker, the financial implications of such a move pose a significant challenge. Reports suggest Galatasaray is prepared to offer Napoli €50 million to acquire Osimhen outright. However, concerns have arisen about whether the club can bear both the transfer fee and the high wages associated with a player of his caliber. Addressing these doubts, Kavukcu asserted in an interview on Thursday that Galatasaray has the financial strength to pursue any transfer they deem necessary. “If Galatasaray wants a player, we will be at that table,” Kavukcu stated, as reported by Forza Cimbom. “Galatasaray has the power to make the right transfers at the points determined by our coach. We have the power to buy more Osimhens.” While Kavukcu’s statement underscores the club’s confidence in its resources, the reality of securing a deal for Osimhen remains uncertain. Napoli, known for driving hard bargains, is unlikely to part with the striker for less than his market value, which could exceed the proposed €50 million. Additionally, Osimhen’s salary demands could strain Galatasaray’s financial structure. For now, the Turkish champions enjoy the benefits of having Osimhen on loan, as they aim to make the most of his exceptional talents this season. Whether the club can turn his temporary stay into a permanent move will depend on their ability to balance ambition with financial prudence.
