Galatasaray board member Bora Bahçetepe told the HT Spor broadcast that the club will sell Victor Osimhen only if it receives an offer of 150-200 million euros, adding: "Victor Osimhen is the best striker in Europe" and "We won’t sell him unless we receive an offer of 150-200 million euros."
Bahçetepe’s remarks landed amid persistent reports linking Osimhen with a summer departure from the Turkish champions, and they set a clear financial line: any transfer would require one of the largest fees in the market this window, a figure that will focus attention on which clubs — if any — are prepared to meet it.
Osimhen, 27, joined Galatasaray on a permanent transfer from Serie A side Napoli in 2025. Since then he has become not only the face of the club’s attack but, according to City People Magazine, one of the richest African footballers of his generation through a string of commercial deals and private investments.
City People Magazine reported that Osimhen has a mansion in the Lekki area of Lagos, allegedly costing more than N3 billion, and that he also owns a high-end apartment in Naples, Italy. The magazine says he launched a personal brand called VO9, became a brand ambassador for Nigerian fintech firm Moniepoint in 2025, and holds endorsement agreements with companies including Reckitt Nigeria and Nike, as well as a partnership with Nissan Türkiye and a previous deal with MultiChoice Nigeria.
The commercial profile Bahçetepe described matters to the transfer story because it deepens the picture of Osimhen as both a sporting asset and a marketable global name — one whose club valuation now sits alongside visible off-field investments and ventures such as real estate, youth development and brand ownership reported by City People Magazine in early 2026.
The friction in the narrative is immediate. Reports of summer interest imply that clubs will probe Galatasaray for a deal; Bahçetepe’s public valuation both answers and raises questions at once. It answers what price would convince the board to sell, and raises the question of whether any bidder will be willing to convert reported interest into an offer inside the 150–200 million euro band.
That tension will shape the next weeks of the transfer window: scouts and sporting directors will weigh whether Osimhen’s on-field status — described by Bahçetepe as "the best striker in Europe" — plus his off-field commercial pull, justify testing Galatasaray’s ceiling.

The only clear, evidence-backed conclusion is what Bahçetepe stated on HT Spor: Osimhen will not be moved on lightly. Unless a club meets the 150–200 million euro threshold he set, the striker who arrived from Napoli in 2025 is likely to remain Galatasaray’s marquee forward — and the summer chatter will continue to be exactly that, talk until a matching offer appears.
