"There is talk about whether he will stay or not. Accounts, books, taxes, agreements… If it is done according to the rules, there will be no room for a spending limit!”
Fenerbahce fans have slammed Koc for failing to sign the dynamic forward. Koc clarified that Osimhen was never offered to Fenerbahce, and unique circumstances paved the way for Galatasaray’s coup.
“For those who don’t know about Osimhen’s transfer, let me tell you; luck was on Galatasaray’s side,” he said.
“It was very good for them because Mauro Icardi was injured. It was a windfall. If it had been both, it could have been a problem.”
Osimhen is unlikely to remain in Turkey beyond the end of the season as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Saudi Arabian teams reportedly vying for the 26-year-old’s signature.
