Fresh uncertainty has emerged over Victor Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray as tensions between the Nigerian striker and the Turkish champions continue to grow in the closing weeks of the transfer window.
The Super Eagles forward recently revealed that the club is yet to pay his salaries for the past three months, a disclosure that has raised questions about his long term stay in Turkey.
Signs of a strained relationship also surfaced during Galatasaray’s 3 3 pre season friendly draw against Rennes on Sunday night. Osimhen reportedly declined the captain’s armband when it was offered to him, further fueling speculation that all may not be well between the player and the club.
With the situation attracting attention across Europe, several top clubs have renewed their interest in the 27 year old striker.
Premier League side Tottenham are reported to have submitted an offer worth around €60 million for the Nigerian international, but Galatasaray turned down the proposal.
Chelsea have also been linked with a fresh move for the prolific forward as they continue to monitor developments surrounding his future.
Reports from Europe further suggest that Atletico Madrid have made enquiries about Osimhen’s salary demands at Galatasaray, while his representative is believed to have travelled to Madrid for discussions over a possible transfer.
As the transfer window edges closer to its deadline, growing interest from Europe’s elite clubs is expected to intensify speculation over whether Osimhen will remain at Galatasaray or secure another high profile move before the window closes.
