Real Madrid have been tipped to go for Nigerian top striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window even as Galatasaray have vowed not to sell at any price.
Turkish football commentator Ertem Şener claimed that Real Madrid signing Osimhen is very much on the table for the Spanish giants who are known to get any player they want at all costs.
“I think there’s a possibility Osimhen might leave Galatasaray. I heard Jose Mourinho wants Osimhen at Real Madrid,” Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi.com quoted Sener.
“Florentino Perez said during the election, said ‘I’ve agreed a deal with a player for 150 million Euros.’ Galatasaray is also asking for that amount for Osimhen.
“I’m asking the Galatasaray fans here. Florentino Perez sent 150 million euros and said, ‘I’m buying Victor Osimhen,’ what do you say?”
Mourinho is a known admirer of the Galatasaray striker. While in Fenerbahce, he told reporters in Turkey that if joins a club with money to spend on transfer, he would sign Osimhen.
Meanwhile, according to reports by Turkiye Gazetesi, Galatasaray have turned down a €120 million bid from Atletico Madrid.
However, Galatasaray are said to have dismissed the proposal without hesitation, sending a clear message about their intentions regarding the Nigerian international.
“Sorry, we are not selling,” the club reportedly told Atletico Madrid in response to the approach.”
Mourinho and Osimhen...heart to heart.
