Victor Osimhen transfer saga: Galatasaray rejects Arsenal bid, Tottenham interested
Arsenal attempted to acquire Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen by offering Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres together with €30 million. Turkish club Galatasaray turned down the proposal, stating a valuation of €130‑150 million for the Nigerian forward.
Tottenham Hotspur have also entered the race, reportedly making an opening offer of £50‑55 million while Galatasaray seeks around £65 million. The striker, who signed a four‑year contract with Galatasaray in July 2025 (running to June 2029), has recorded 59 goals and 16 assists in 74 appearances, helping the club win back‑to‑back Turkish Super Lig titles. Other European clubs, including Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea and Atlético Madrid, are monitoring the situation, but no official contact has been confirmed.
