Galatasaray vice president, İbrahim Hatipoğlu has expressed confidence that the club can convince Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to remain with the Turkish champions beyond this season.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last September and has since made a tremendous impact, scoring 29 goals and providing five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
The 26-year-old forward has a €75 million release clause in his contract and is widely expected to move to a top European club this summer.
Despite growing interest from other major clubs, Hatipoğlu insists Galatasaray is prepared to meet all financial and sporting conditions required to keep Osimhen at the club permanently.
“His words don’t mean he’s leaving,” Hatipoğlu said in an interview with AS.
“He said that even if he left in the worst-case scenario, Galatasaray would always be in his heart. But he didn’t say he’s leaving. We want him to stay with us.”
Osimhen has previously stated that he will decide on his future at the end of the season.
