Ahmet Cakar Urges Galatasaray To Sell Osimhen If €200 Million Bid Arrives

Turkish football analyst Ahmet Cakar has suggested that Galatasaray should consider selling Victor Osimhen if a substantial offer — such as €200 million — comes in from a major European club.

However, the pundit also expressed doubt that the Nigeria international would agree to leave, given his strong connection to the Turkish champions and his earlier decision to reject a far more lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.

The 26-year-old striker turned down a move to the Middle East in the final days of the summer transfer window, opting instead to sign with Galatasaray — where he earns around €21 million annually. His loyalty to the club has made him a fan favourite, and his performances have only strengthened his status as a global superstar.

Osimhen has been in sensational form, currently sitting as the Champions League top scorer with six goals in three matches, sparking renewed transfer interest from clubs across Europe.

Speaking to GsGazette, Cakar shared his blunt view on the matter:

“If any European team offers €200 million for Osimhen, Galatasaray should sell him. If they don’t, they’re a sucker. In return, maybe Osimhen won’t leave. He turned down twice the salary in Saudi Arabia. He loves Galatasaray like Metin Oktay.”

Meanwhile, Barcelona are reportedly monitoring the situation closely as they prepare for life after Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to leave the club this summer.

Reports from Turkey suggest that Galatasaray would not block Osimhen’s potential exit but would only entertain offers of at least €150 million, double the €75 million they paid Napoli to secure his signature.

With Osimhen’s goal-scoring exploits lighting up Europe and his value soaring, the coming transfer window could see one of the biggest football stories of 2026 unfold — depending on whether loyalty or legacy wins out.
