Galatasaray have reportedly turned down a €120 million bid from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club for star striker Victor Osimhen, as the Turkish giants remain determined to keep their prized asset. The Nigerian international has become the subject of intense transfer speculation, with the Istanbul club now holding two separate €120 million offers—one from the Saudi Pro League and another from a European suitor—following an earlier rejected bid of the same amount from Atlético Madrid. Despite the mounting pressure and high-profile interest, Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has set an asking price of €150 million and insists the club has no intention of selling the 27-year-old, who scored 22 goals and provided eight assists last season to help the team defend their Süper Lig title. To further secure his future in Turkey, the club is reportedly preparing an improved long-term contract running until 2029, with plans to offer the striker the captain’s armband and the iconic number nine shirt. With Manchester United reportedly stepping away due to the high valuation and tax complexities, and Osimhen himself previously expressing a preference for remaining in European football, Galatasaray is positioning the striker as the cornerstone of their upcoming Champions League campaign rather than a player on the market.
