Following reports Arsenal are negotiating with Galatasaray to sign top striker Victor Osimhen, Dursun Ozbek who is president of the Turkish champions said they are not selling at any price.
Osimhen is tied to Galatasaray till 2029, after scoring twice against Corum FK in their opening game of Turkey Super League he said he will stay in Istanbul and continue working for the club, but at the same time he did not rule out a move.
“There are always rumours during transfer seasons. I will focus on my job. I focus on my work. We’ll see and think about the future then,” Osimhen stated on Friday.
However, Ozbek told inner circle that he wouldn’t let Osimhen go
“I will not say ‘yes’ to any transaction that will harm Galatasaray or not benefit Galatasaray.
“What I said about (Galatasaray winger) Baris Alper Yilmaz, I am now saying even more strongly about Osimhen. No matter how much the price is, I am not selling Osimhen.”
But things could change if Osimhen agrees to any deal with any of the London clubs. Most especially Arsenal who could offer him the chance to play with a club that has the prospect of win the Champions League.
The 27-year-old has continued his prolific scoring ways by bagging 61 goals in just 75 matches, which has helped towards the Turkish giants winning the Super Lig twice and the Turkish Cup.
