They will announce it then — Expert reveals date Osimhen will join new club

A senior journalist provided crucial updates on Victor Osimhen's future.

Turkish journalist Zeki Uzundurukan believes that Galatasaray will complete the signing of Victor Osimhen before the end of the week.

On loan, the 26-year-old led the Cim-Bom to their 25th league title and 19th Turkish Cup last season; hence the desire to sign him permanently. Galatasaray have been pushing for the signing and have now seemingly got their man. 

What Uzundurukan 

Uzundurukan, the editor-in-chief of the Turkish newspaper Fotomac, relayed the reports from Turkey suggesting that Galatasaray reached a full agreement with Osimhen on personal terms. He said that the transfer would be completed shortly, as the Nigerian does not have a better offer elsewhere. 

"Victor Osimhen will come to Istanbul on July 10 at the latest and announce his decision,” he said, per GsGazette. “Some rivals did their best to thwart this transfer but it didn't work. 

“None of the offers from Europe's big 5 leagues could surpass the offers made to Galatasaray. Juventus bought Jonathan David. They haven't sold Vlahovici yet. So it's not very likely that he will go to Juventus. The Italian press stated that Osimhen will receive 16 million euros + bonuses from Galatasaray."

Osimhen reportedly agrees to Galatasaray offer

As Pulse Sports reported, Osimhen is eager to turn his successful loan stint at Galatasaray into a permanent move.

The Super Eagles star has reportedly accepted a lucrative €16 million-per-year offer, according to CalcioMercato, signalling his intention to stay with the Turkish champions.
