Addressing the speculation, Özbek acknowledged the interest in the prolific forward but stressed that any future transfer would hinge on financial considerations, including spending limits.
“Osimhen is our player this season. Of course, all clubs want to transfer Osimhen at the end of the season. One of the most important factors is the formation of spending limits,” Özbek said.
The Galatasaray president also underlined the club’s primary focus on winning their 23rd league title, a historic achievement that would see the team earn the coveted fifth star on their badge, a symbolic milestone in Turkish football.
