Galatasaray President Confirms: No Release Clause in Victor Osimhen’s Contract 🔥
Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has put an end to growing transfer speculations surrounding Victor Osimhen, revealing that the Nigerian striker does not have a release clause in his current deal with the Turkish champions.
Speaking during a sponsorship press conference on Friday, Özbek clarified the situation, stressing that the club sees Osimhen as a long-term investment and not a player to be easily pried away.
“Osimhen’s contract doesn’t include an exit clause,” Özbek stated.
“He’s an extremely successful player who will serve Galatasaray for many years to come.”
The Super Eagles star, who joined Galatasaray this summer in a permanent €75 million move from Napoli, has quickly become the heartbeat of the team. His explosive pace, tireless pressing, and lethal finishing have already made him a fan favorite in Istanbul.
Osimhen previously spent last season on loan under Okan Buruk, where his performances convinced the Turkish giants to trigger his release clause and make the deal permanent.
💭 Opinion: Galatasaray’s Smart Move Could Define Their Future
In a football era where big clubs often lose their stars overnight, Galatasaray’s decision to remove a release clause from Osimhen’s contract is a statement of intent. It signals ambition, stability, and a desire to compete not just in Turkey — but in Europe.
For Osimhen, this is more than just another career move. After shining in Italy with Napoli and now in Turkey, he’s establishing himself as one of Africa’s most consistent goal-scorers in Europe. And for Galatasaray, keeping a player of his caliber without the constant fear of a mid-season transfer raid is a major win.
Still, football’s unpredictable nature means the spotlight will remain on him. If Osimhen keeps delivering — and knowing his hunger, he likely will — it’s only a matter of time before Europe’s elite come knocking again.
But for now, Galatasaray fans can breathe easy — their prized striker isn’t going anywhere soon. 🦁⚽
🔴 Do you think Osimhen made the right decision staying in Turkey, or should he have pushed for another top European league move?
