Galatasaray president rules out selling Osimhen despite Arsenal, Al-Hilal interest

Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has ruled out any sale of Victor Osimhen this summer, rejecting interest from Premier League champions Arsenal and Saudi club Al-Hilal. Özbek told 343 Digital, per DAILY POST, that no amount of money would convince him to sell the Nigerian striker, echoing his stance on Barış Alper Yılmaz.

Osimhen opened Galatasaray's Turkish Super Lig season with two goals in a 2-2 draw against Arca Çorum FK on Friday night, showing immediate impact under manager Okan Buruk. Arsenal had reportedly offered Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri as part of a deal, while Al-Hilal's interest remains speculative.

For Nigerian fans tracking Osimhen's career, this means he remains at Galatasaray for now—no imminent move to England or Saudi Arabia despite the speculation. His performance suggests he's adapting quickly to Turkish football after his Napoli stint.

Will you continue supporting Osimhen's Galatasaray journey, or do you still hope for a future transfer to test him in another top league?
