Galatasaray Seeks Chinese Funding to Secure Osimhen’s Future Amid Transfer Race
Galatasaray is pulling out all the stops to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen beyond his current loan stint, reportedly seeking financial backing from a major Chinese bank. According to Sportsblog247.com, the Turkish Super Lig club is making serious efforts to lock down the 25-year-old, whose impressive eight-goal tally in just nine appearances has fueled significant interest.
After a turbulent end to his time at Napoli, Osimhen left the Italian side on a season-long loan and has quickly won the hearts of Galatasaray supporters. The Turkish giants, however, are not yet able to meet Napoli’s high asking price to make his stay permanent.
One potential strategy under consideration is a player-swap involving Turkish forward Yunus Akgun to help offset some of the financial demands. But as competition for Osimhen heats up, Galatasaray’s latest plan involves securing additional funds to keep the Super Eagles star in Turkey.
In return, the striker has already shown positive signs about extending his stay, especially as his bond with Galatasaray fans grows deeper with each goal and performance.
