Galatasaray Deputy President Abdallah Kavukcu has hit back at Napoli chief after claiming they have shut the door on Victor Osimhen’s transfer.

A few weeks ago, Pulse Sports reported that Napoli have closed the door on any transfer negotiations with Galatasary for Osimhen.

Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, told Galatasaray that they don't have the money to sign Osimhen.

However, Galatasaray’s chief has responded to the claims from Napoli regarding the Turkish champion's transfer move for Osimhen.

According to Forza Cimbom, Abdallah Kavukcu said, “If Galatasaray wants a player, we will be at that table. 

“Galatasaray has the power to make the right transfers at the points determined by our coach. We have the power to buy more Osimhens.”

Kavukcu claimed that Galatasaray can battle with any club for the signing of any player and can buy many Osimhen.

Since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli for the season, Nigerian striker Osimhen has swiftly emerged as the team's important player.

In nine games for the defending Turkish champions, he has contributed eight goals and four assists, and because of his exceptional play, there have been rumours that the team wants to sign him long-term.

However, the price to sign Osimhen from Napoli has been the issue, with Galatasaray offering Napoli €50 million for forward.

The club may face financial difficulties signing Osimhen and will lack the resources to cover both the player's fee and salary.
