Galatasaray have reportedly set a €150 million valuation on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, amid growing transfer speculation linking him to Chelsea and other European giants.
Just months after his €75 million move from Napoli, the most expensive deal in Turkish football history, Osimhen’s performances have led Galatasaray to solidify their investment.
According to Turkish-Football, the club will demand at least €150 million for any transfer this season.
The 26-year-old has been in remarkable form, scoring nine goals in 12 appearances this campaign.
His dominance is particularly evident in the UEFA Champions League, where he has netted six times in just three matches, propelling Galatasaray to their best European start in 13 years.
Speaking at an event in Istanbul, Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek declined to confirm the exact figure but acknowledged Osimhen’s immense value to Turkish football.
“Osimhen is one of the most valuable footballers in Türkiye,” Özbek stated. “I don’t want to comment on numbers, but everyone agrees he is the league’s most valuable player.”
Osimhen’s performances have reignited interest from elite clubs, with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Barcelona reportedly monitoring his situation.
His rapid rise has also caught UEFA’s attention, with reports suggesting the governing body is preparing a documentary on the striker, the highest-scoring Nigerian in European competitions.
As the January transfer window nears, Galatasaray seem determined to resist bids below their €150 million valuation, reinforcing Osimhen’s status among football’s most coveted forwards.
