Galatasaray Deputy Chairman İbrahim Hatipoğlu has denied any communication with Manchester City over the potential of signing their player İlkay Gündoğan during the summer transfer window.

Hatipoğlu stated that Galatasaray’s first aim this summer is to sign Victor Osimhen on a permanent move from Napoli.

Gündoğan was linked with a transfer to Galatasaray this summer.

Speaking about the development, Hatipoğlu was quoted by Habersarikirmizi as saying, “We haven’t had any connection with Manchester City regarding transfers.

“We haven’t discussed money with İlkay Gündoğan and his manager. There is no such thing on our agenda at the moment.

“We are all thinking about the Osimhen transfer first. We will meet later if our coach wants.”

Osimhen had spent last season on loan at Galatasaray but the Nigerian international has not decided the club he will play for next season after his contract with the Turkish champions expired.
