The European transfer market is heating up once again. Barcelona has launched a serious effort to sign Victor Osimhen, the star currently shining in Turkish football.
According to a report by A Spor, the Catalans have made an official offer of 100 million euros for the Nigerian striker. However, the Galatasaray management has rejected this proposal.
According to sources, the Istanbul-based club has no intention of letting their leading forward go cheaply. The club is demanding at least 150 million euros for Osimhen and is only prepared to negotiate around that figure. This indicates that the transfer will not be an easy process.
The player's current contract also works in the club's favor—it is set to run until the summer of 2029. Consequently, Galatasaray holds a superior position in terms of timing and conditions.
The 27-year-old striker remains in top form this season. He has participated in 20 matches in the Turkish Super Lig, recording 13 goals and 4 assists. These statistics make him one of the most productive players in the league.
In short, Barcelona has taken a major step toward a big transfer, but Galatasaray is not a club that will surrender easily. Now, one question remains: will the Catalans increase their offer, or will this transfer be put on hold?
