The new agent of Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen is currently locked in talks with Galatasary over a permanent signing according to the vice president of the team president Ibrahim Hatipoglu.
Osimhen famously turned his back on a big money move to Saudi Arabia side Al-Hilal following his impressive season while on loan to Galatasary from Napoli, who are demanding a fee in excess of €70m for his permanent exit.
Early reports this morning has it that Liverpool have held talks with his representative on signing him, but according to Hatipoglu talks for him to remain with them after the signing of Leroy Sane from Bayer Munich is progressing nicely with George Gardi, who now represents Osimhen rather than Roberto Calenda who was with him the past two years.
Gardi was key to Osimhen joining Galatasary last summer after a failed attempt to join Chelsea ended up leaving him with no option. “When they offered us Osimhen, we didn’t need a striker, but we signed him in two days.” Hatipoglu told AS via TMW.
“Abdullah Kavukcu, head of transfers, is handling the process alongside Italian agent George Gardi. With each passing day, the chances of Osimhen staying at Galatasaray increase.”
