A Turkish football analyst gave Galatasaray Victor Osimhen-related advice.
While they have completed the impressive signing of Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane, Galatasaray have had to put other business on hold, waiting for Victor Osimhen's decision.
The 26-year-old Nigerian striker is expected to cost a significant portion, if not all, of the Cim-Bom's transfer budget for the summer. They are keen on signing him; hence, they have pooled all their resources into making the deal happen.

Osimhen is not 100% Galatasaray — Analyst questions Super Eagles star's love and achievement
Victor Osimhen continues to stall on Galatasaray's contract offer which has led to the questioning of his love for the club.
This means their ability to solve other problem positions in their squad is handicapped as they prepare to compete in the Champions League next season. However, Serkan Recher, a Turkish football analyst, believes that Osimhen is worth the sacrifice.
What Serkan said
With the exit of Fernando Muslera at the end of the season, Galatasaray are also in the market for a goalkeeper and have been linked with Barcelona's Marc-André ter Stegen.
They have not advanced on that front, or any, as they continue to wait for Osimhen; however, Serkan believes there is no rush and that they should continue to wait as they have a settled squad.
"If Galatasaray is waiting for Osimhen, they should wait,” he said per GsGazette. “They should try to get him until the last moment. This sacrifice is made for Osimhen. If necessary, let that place remain empty. Even Barış can be tried as a centre forward in the open field.

"Galatasaray should not panic in the goalkeeper transfer. Let's close our eyes today and count Galatasaray's starting 11 again. Günay Güvenç's performance is good. He is also successful under pressure."
To further buttress his point, he argued that the Cim-Bom's title success cannot be attributed to Osimhen's performances alone, a testament to the strength of their current squad.
"This championship cannot be attributed only to Osimhen. Okan Buruk made this team champions for 3 consecutive years with different squads.”
“We cannot ignore the performance of players like Torreira, Davinson and Barış. Lemina came, closed the defensive gaps and caused Torreira to have a career season. They definitely do not need to panic in the transfer. Because Galatasaray has a settled squad."
