Galatasaray’s vice-president, Abdullah Kavukcu, has warned Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen that “time is running out” to seal a permanent move to the Turkish club.
The Süper Lig side has been waiting for Osimhen’s response to their €16 million offer, but the 26-year-old has been keeping them waiting, preferring to delay official response to the August proposal.
“We’ve offered him figures higher than those proposed by other clubs in Europe. He keeps us waiting, but time is running out,” Kavukcu told Fanatik. Galatasaray plans to finalise a deal for Osimhen by the end of June or explore alternative options.
