Turkish champions Galatasaray are making plans to keep Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen beyond the summer transfer window.
The Super Eagles forward has attracted interest from several European giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
Despite the growing attention, Galatasaray are determined to hold on to one of their most important players.
Club rejects huge offers for striker
Reports indicate that Galatasaray have already rejected offers reaching up to €125 million for Osimhen.
The club sees the Nigerian forward as a key part of their future plans and wants him to remain at the centre of their project.
The situation has become more important following the expected departure of Mauro Icardi, whose contract is set to expire this month.
Captaincy and No. 9 shirt part of plan
With Icardi’s exit expected to leave a gap in attack, Galatasaray are reportedly ready to give Osimhen a bigger role at the club.
The Turkish side is considering offering him the captain’s armband as well as the famous No. 9 jersey currently worn by Icardi.
The move is aimed at strengthening Osimhen’s connection with the club and making him a central figure in Galatasaray’s future.
