Galatasaray’s Vice President, Erdenay Hatipoğlu, has publicly addressed the growing speculation surrounding the future of star striker Victor Osimhen. Amid rumors linking the Nigerian forward to a potential transfer, Hatipoğlu made it clear that the club’s primary goal is to retain Osimhen for the long term.
Osimhen, who has been in outstanding form for Galatasaray, has attracted attention from top clubs across Europe. His performances in the Turkish Süper Lig and the UEFA competitions have showcased his quality, making him a sought-after asset on the transfer market. Despite this, Hatipoğlu was adamant that the club is committed to keeping him at the Türk Telekom Stadium.
“We want Osimhen to stay with us. His contributions to the team have been invaluable, and his presence is crucial as we continue to pursue our goals both domestically and in Europe,” Hatipoğlu said in a recent interview.
The 24-year-old striker has established himself as one of the most promising talents in European football. His agility, strength, and goal-scoring ability have made him a fan favorite and a key figure in the team’s offensive strategy. His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with some of the biggest clubs reportedly eyeing him for a potential transfer.
Hatipoğlu acknowledged the interest but stressed that Galatasaray’s intentions are clear: they have no plans to part ways with their star player. “While we understand that the market is dynamic, our focus is on building a team around players like Osimhen who can help us achieve our long-term objectives,” he continued.
The situation remains fluid as the summer transfer window approaches, but for now, Galatasaray supporters can rest assured that the club is doing everything in its power to keep the Nigerian striker in Istanbul for the foreseeable future. With Hatipoğlu’s strong stance on Osimhen’s future, it seems that any potential departure will not come easily for any suitor.
As the transfer rumors continue to swirl, all eyes will be on how Galatasaray navigates this crucial moment in their pursuit of success in both the Turkish league and Europe.
