Galatasaray’s proposal
The Cim-Bom have a well-worked-out plan to sign Victor Osimhen this summer, and they believe they are capable of meeting the financial requirement.
The Nigerian has a release clause of €75 million and is said to be requesting an annual wage of €12 million net. While the wage demands have discouraged Premier League clubs, the lesser withholding tax percent in Turkey makes it more affordable for the Cim-Bom.
And for the sizable transfer fee, the Lions believe they can work out a swap deal, as Napoli, Osimhen’s parent club, are interested in their winger, Baris Alper Yilmaz.

What Toroglu said
Despite Galatasaray’s plan, the decision is ultimately Victor’s, and although he loves the club and their fans, he has previously admitted that his ambition is to play in the Premier League.
Hence, he is expected to leave the club this summer. However, Toroglu said that the Nigerian is looking for a school in Turkey for his daughter, Hailey, and a house in Acarkent, Istanbul. This suggests that he is planning on settling in Turkey.
"Osimhen is looking for a villa for himself in Acarkent,” he said, per GsGazette. “They say he is also looking for a school for his children. In England, newspapers are talking about Premier League clubs wanting him."
Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen’s title-winning goal for Galatasaray was made extra special as his daughter Hailey announced it live in the stadium, a heartwarming family moment on a historic night.
