If Osimhen leaves, it's because of money — Galatasaray vice president

Galatasaray Vice President Niyazi Yelkencioğlu made a strong statement about Victor Osimhen's future, positing that money would be the only reason the Nigerian striker leaves the club this summer. 

In a recent appearance on Ekol TV, Niyazi provided some insights into their pursuit of Osimhen's talents on a more permanent basis.

He admitted that the former Lille striker had fallen in love with the club but also tacitly admitted they were unable to match some of the financial offers the Nigerian has been presented with by other clubs. 

"First of all, it is his decision; we are waiting for his decision. If he goes, it will be for financial reasons,” he said, per SporHaber.

"We know that his heart is here. Financial matters are also very important; big numbers are being talked about. We will see; we are waiting.

"We have caught a good atmosphere. We have very good players. With a few reinforcements, this team will reach even better places. We will be successful in Europe as well. I believe that our success will continue in Türkiye as well."

As Pulse Sports reported, other than the clear interest from Galatasaray, the 26-year-old is also being courted by Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal and Premier League giants Manchester United.
