The president of Galatasaray has reacted to the viral reports of Victor Osimhen’s future at the club as the summer transfer window draws near, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Osimhen is widely expected to leave the Turkish side in the summer with Italian Serie A side Juventus seen by many as the front runners for his signing.
However reports say there is a clause in the transfer deal that saw him move from Napoli to Galatasaray, barring him from joining any Italian side until 2027.
That clause according to so many reports is why a potential move to Juventus will be complicated, as there is a penalty that Galatasaray will pay if they violate it by agreeing a deal with an Italian side.
The Turkish club’s president Dursun Ozbek told Fanatik: “There is no release clause in Osimhen’s contract. He is an extremely successful footballer who will serve Galatasaray for many years,” Ozbek said.
“Perhaps the amount was considered high on the day we signed him, but today the prevailing view in football circles is that the transfer fee was low and the player’s value is much higher.”
