Galatasaray's vice president made an important revelation concerning Osimhen's future.

Galatasaray vice-president Abdullahi Kavoukcu said that they expect Victor Osimhen to make a decision on his future this month. 

The 26-year-old is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli. He has a €75 million release clause, but the Partenopei are willing to accept €55 million, according to reports.

There is a spate of suitors aiming to acquire the Nigerian’s services next summer, including the Cim-Bom. The Turkish champions want to sign Osimhen permanently despite the financial ramifications, but the player has to agree, as he still harbours Premier League ambitions.

What Abdullahi said 

Osimhen has remained tight-lipped about the conversations surrounding his future, refusing to confirm a desire to remain in Turkey but maintaining that he loved the club and their fans. 

The Galatasaray executive, per the Daily Post, has not ruled out signing Osimhen, despite competition from bigger European clubs. He said they expect the former Royal Charleroi striker to inform them of his decision this April. 

“Osimhen will announce his decision in April,” Abdullahi said. “At the moment, five of the world’s top clubs are interested in him. 

Osimhen has scored 29 goals this season for Galatasaray.

“His arrival here was a dream; he came, and for now, he is playing with us. In January, there was talk of a transfer, but he stayed 

“He loves Galatasaray very much. Right now, he is the dream of all our rivals. Although we are focused on winning the title, we have not had direct discussions with Victor yet.

“There is no point in talking about it now. Galatasaray are a top-level club—if it weren’t, Victor wouldn’t have come. His stay at Galatasaray is not as impossible as it may seem.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea are one of the clubs linked with a summer move for Osimhen, but the club's coach, Enzo Maresca, insists that he is satisfied with current striker Nicolas Jackson as their main centre-forward.
