Galatasaray have issued an ultimatum to Victor Osimhen, as questions surrounding the player’s future continue to drag on.

According to reports from Fanatik, via TMW , Galatasaray have already reached an agreement with Napoli concerning the fee for the player but a lack of response from Osimhen is beginning to wear away at the Turkish giants’ patience.

The Nigerian striker spent the 2024-25 season on loan with the Super Lig outfit, scoring 26 times in 30 league games and helping Okan Buruk’s side lift the domestic title; the Istanbul side finishing 11 points clear of fierce rivals Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray vice-president impatient with Osimhen

Speaking about the deal, Galatasaray vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu expressed his unhappiness: “He’s making us wait but time is running out. We’ve offered him figures higher than those proposed in Europe.”

The reports suggest that the Turkish club have informed Osimhen’s entourage that if they are still interested in a deal, they must come to the negotiating table after the summer holidays – where a decision may finally be made on the player’s future.

Other than Galatasaray, rumours in recent weeks have touted a possible move to Juventus or to various Saudi Pro League sides.
