The Istanbul giants broke the Turkish transfer record to secure his \u20ac75 million return after he fired them to the <a title=\"S\u00fcper Lig\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/s-per-lig\/startseite\/wettbewerb\/TR1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">S\u00fcper Lig<\/a> title during his loan spell in the previous season.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Osimhen was also instrumental in securing Gala\u2019s fourth consecutive title and they reached the last 16 of the Champions League for the first time in 12 years. As evidenced by tens of thousands of supporters greeting his arrival in Istanbul last summer, Osimhen enjoys hero status in the Turkish capital and that affection could prove pivotal to the 27-year-old remaining at the club. From Transfermarkt\u2019s rumour mill, Osimhen has been linked to <a title=\"Bayern Munich\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/bayern-munich\/startseite\/verein\/27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bayern Munich<\/a>, <a title=\"Real Madrid\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/real-madrid\/startseite\/verein\/418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Real Madrid<\/a>, <a title=\"FC Barcelona\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/fc-barcelona\/startseite\/verein\/131\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Barcelona<\/a> and <a title=\"Chelsea FC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/chelsea-fc\/startseite\/verein\/631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> with Galatasaray reportedly rejecting an eye-watering bid already this summer. It\u2019s claimed by some outlets that an unnamed <a title=\"Saudi Pro League\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/saudi-pro-league\/startseite\/wettbewerb\/SA1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Saudi club<\/a> tabled an \u20ac120m offer, which was refused and with that in mind, we\u2019ve decided to analyse Osimhen\u2019s future with insight from T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n<p>\nVictor Osimhen\u2019s future anaylsed<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, Osimhen\u2019s record at Galatasaray is hugely impressive with 59 goals and 16 assists in 74 appearances. The Nigerian striker averages 0.92 goals per 90 minutes at Gala and he ranks 11th amongst their all-time record goalscorers. Osimhen has already moved for fees in excess of \u20ac70m twice in his career &#8211; to Napoli and Galatasaray &#8211; and he ranks 13th for highest accumulated transfer fees. Although his market value stands at \u20ac75m, Galatasaray value their prized asset at close to double that valuation and that, combined with his wage demands, are the crux of why it\u2019s difficult to envisage him transferring this summer.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/osimhen-stats-1783519201-201861.png\" alt=\"\"\/>While there\u2019s an increasing lack of elite centre-forwards, certainly ones that are realistically obtainable, Osimhen is simply viewed as too expensive for the biggest clubs in the world. Several leading sides in the market for an established number nine this summer &#8211; Barcelona and Chelsea are two examples &#8211; but it\u2019s expected they won\u2019t consider Osimhen due to financial factors. Galatasaray have already made their stance clear, valuing him around \u20ac120m and his wage demands are also astronomical, with both factors deterring any potential suitors. So is there any chance he could leave Gala? We spoke to Cem Atakara, Turkish Content Manager at Transfermarkt, to gain insight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/osimhen-exit-1783519313-201862.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThe view from T\u00fcrkiye<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Osimhen will stay at Galatasaray for one more season. He claims he is happy at the club and does not want to leave. Galatasaray are asking for around \u20ac140+ million and his salary is also very high, so even the Premier League clubs may find it difficult.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There has also been strong interest from Saudi Arabia for about two months and reports say there is an offer worth around \u20ac120 million. But Osimhen is happier staying at Galatasaray than leaving this summer. If he wants to be the main star and get all the attention, Galatasaray is the perfect place for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n                                Note:<br \/>\n                                When you search for something on Google, you\u2019ll see a box with the latest news alongside the usual results.
