Galatasaray have reportedly reduced their asking price for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to €65 million as fresh interest from Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal puts the Super Eagles forward back at the centre of transfer speculation.
The Turkish champions are said to be open to selling Osimhen if a club is prepared to meet the revised valuation. The development comes after Al Hilal reportedly made contact with Galatasaray to establish the conditions required to sign the Nigerian international.
Osimhen only recently made his move to Galatasaray permanent after spending the previous season at the Istanbul club on loan. His performances played a major role in Galatasaray’s success, strengthening his status as one of the most sought after strikers in European football...READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE .
Despite completing his permanent transfer, Galatasaray’s latest position suggests that the club could consider a major offer for the 27 year old if its financial expectations are met. The €65 million valuation could potentially attract serious interest from clubs searching for an established goalscorer.
However, a transfer to Al Hilal would not depend solely on an agreement between the two clubs. Osimhen would also have to agree to the move and decide whether he wants to leave Istanbul for Saudi Arabia.
Al Hilal are reportedly considering changes to their squad to create space for the Nigerian striker, with Karim Benzema’s future at the Saudi club potentially becoming an important factor in their plans.
For Osimhen, the decision could present another major career crossroads. Remaining at Galatasaray would give him the opportunity to continue competing for domestic honours and playing in European competition, while a move to Saudi Arabia could offer a lucrative contract and a different challenge.
The Nigerian striker has continued to attract significant attention because of his goalscoring ability, physical strength and experience at the highest level. His availability for €65 million could therefore make the transfer situation even more interesting as interested clubs assess whether to make a formal move.
For now, no completed transfer has been announced, and Osimhen’s preference remains an important part of the situation. Galatasaray may be willing to listen to offers at the reported €65 million figure, but the final outcome will depend on negotiations between the clubs and the player’s decision about his next destination.
