Victor Osimhen

Galatasaray reject €120m-plus offers as striker prepares for new season

Galatasaray | Striker | Nigerian

Key stat: Club president values Osimhen at €150 million amid interest from Atletico Madrid and Saudi Pro League clubs

Osimhen has returned to Galatasaray’s pre-season camp and passed his medical ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, with the Turkish champions preparing a new long-term contract through 2029.

Despite offers in excess of €120 million, Galatasaray have no intention of opening talks, viewing him as the player to build the squad around.

Osimhen has said he remains happy in Istanbul but would welcome a future move to the Premier League or La Liga if the right opportunity arose.

“I am happy here in Istanbul. — Victor Osimhen”

Mason Greenwood

Fresh start in Turkey after prolific spell at Marseille

Fenerbahce | Forward | English

Key stat: 23 goals across all competitions for Marseille last season, sealed a four-year deal at Fenerbahce worth €39m

Greenwood’s move to Istanbul comes after Fenerbahce capitalised on a breakdown in his proposed transfer to Atletico Madrid.

His arrival adds firepower to a Fenerbahce side looking to challenge Galatasaray domestically next season.

The transfer also means Manchester United will receive a financial return from the sale via a sell-on arrangement agreed when he left Old Trafford.

“It was a no-brainer when they were interested in me. — Mason Greenwood”
