Fenerbahçe is ready to spike its Istanbul bitter arch-enemy, Galatasaray for the services of Victor Osimhen, as it’s willing to cough out €60million for the Nigerian striker.
Osimhen, who has been in superb form for Galatasaray since his loan move from Napoli, was allegedly contacted on the phone by Napoli Sporting Director Giovanni Manna and Fenerbahçe’s Sporting Director Mario Branco.
According to Turkish media Sabah; In the phone conversation between the two names, Manna informed the 25-year-old Super Eagles striker that Napoli and Fenerbahçe could hold talks if the conditions were met regarding the transfer.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe is willing to pay €60 million for Osimhen which is €10 million more than what Galatasaray has to offer.
It was recorded that Manna replied to Branco, “The figure is €75 million, I have previously announced this. We will sit at the table with the club that pays €25 million of this in advance.”
Osimhen is being linked by many clubs other than the two Turkish giants. English Premier League trio of Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United are in contact with Napoli. It is also said that Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal are also keen.
Osimhen has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 9 matches for Galatasaray this season.
