Galatasaray ‘have received’ €130 million bid from Al-Hilal for Victor Osimhen | OneFootball

Galatasaray have received a €130 million bid from Al-Hilal for Victor Osimhen, according to Sky Deutschland on Thursday. The Istanbul club are not prepared to let the striker go.

An intermediary is said to have delivered a verbal offer on Wednesday on behalf of Al-Hilal, the 21-time champions of Saudi Arabia.

Galatasaray’s stance was firm, they do not intend to negotiate and have no plans to enter talks.

Al-Hilal’s pursuit follows the summer departure of Marcos Leonardo, who joined Ajax for just under €20 million.

Leonardo contributed 48 goals and five assists in 82 official appearances for Al-Hilal in recent years.

Osimhen has been a Galatasaray player for a year after an earlier loan from Napoli, and was signed permanently last year for €75 million.

He is under contract in Istanbul until mid-2029, and Transfermarkt currently values him at €75 million.
