Turkish Champions Demand Answer From Star Striker After Breaking Bank With Record Offer
Galatasaray’s leadership has gone public with their growing frustration over Victor Osimhen’s prolonged silence about his future, with vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu delivering a blunt message to the Nigerian striker: time is running out.
“We’ve offered him figures higher than anything proposed in Europe, but he’s making us wait,” Kavukcu told reporters, the irritation clear in his voice. “Our patience isn’t infinite.”
The emotional plea comes despite Galatasaray having already agreed a transfer fee with Napoli for their star loanee, who electrified Turkish football last season with 26 goals in 30 league appearances. What was supposed to be a triumphant permanent signing has instead become a tense standoff, with Osimhen yet to respond to the club’s lucrative contract offer nearly three weeks after terms were presented.
A Deadline Looms
Club insiders reveal Galatasaray have now set an unofficial cutoff point – they expect Osimhen’s representatives to come to the negotiating table immediately after his summer vacation concludes. The ultimatum reflects growing concerns that the delay could force them to miss out on alternative targets.
Kavukcu’s public comments mark a strategic escalation, putting pressure on a player who became a fan favorite during last season’s title-winning campaign. The vice-president’s revelation about outbidding European offers suggests Galatasaray have stretched their budget to the limit for the 25-year-old, whose hesitation now threatens to turn a dream reunion into a bitter transfer saga.
As Juventus and deep-pocketed Saudi clubs lurk in the background, Galatasaray’s leadership has made clear they won’t be kept waiting indefinitely for an answer that could define their season.
