Galatasaray’s interest
Osimhen's loan stint at Galatasaray was meant to end as that, an intermission before he secured a move to a top European club. However, the Nigerian has largely impressed and endeared himself to the fans of the club, hence, the Cim-Bom want to sign him permanently.
Osimhen has a €75 million release clause, but it is believed that Napoli would accept a €55 million bid. That fee, however, is significant in the context of Turkish football, as Galatasaray’s current record transfer is the €18 million they paid for Gabriel Sara last summer.

Top 10 Greatest Goals in Football History
From Lionel Messi's spectacular against Getafe in 2007 to Diego Maradona's stunner against England in 1986, these are the top 10 greatest goals in football history.
What Dizdar said
Dizdar, a Turkish football expert, believes that Osimhen’s qualities do not warrant such a significant outlay for Galatasaray. He argued that Turkish football does not generate enough money to splash such an amount on the Nigerian.
"I don't think Osimhen is one of the top 5 strikers in Europe,” he said, per GsGazette. “It's not right to spend a lot of money on Osimhen.
“This country's football does not produce that much money. It's unfair in terms of this competition. Money and figures come easy to everyone. Even Premier League clubs have difficulty paying transfers today.
“Kerem Aktürkoğlu, whom you bought from Erzincanspor, was playing very well. Why did you send him away from the team? So what should Anatolian clubs that will compete with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe do?
“When I look at the transfer news, it seems like other clubs are not willing to pay 75 million Euros. Even Manchester United is trying to raise funds. Of course, his manager will try to turn everything to his advantage. He constantly makes news. If news is constantly made, it means there are things that are not true."
