The Istanbul giants are still not prepared to enter negotiations for Osimhen at this stage. Last season in the Turkish Super Lig, the 27-year-old scored 15 goals in 22 matches for Galatasaray. Osimhen has previously played for Napoli, Lille, Charleroi and Wolfsburg.
Official bid made for Arsenal winger Martinelli
Alongside their firm position on Osimhen, Galatasaray have also submitted an official offer to Arsenal for winger Gabriel Martinelli, according to multiple Sportingpedia sources.
In the meantime, Galatasaray have offered 45 million euros for the Brazilian international, and the decision now rests with Arsenal over whether they will allow the wide player to leave.
Gabriel Martinelli is currently seen as Galatasaray’s leading summer transfer target.
