The Turkish champions are said to have placed a €150 million price tag on the Nigerian forward amid growing interest from several clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
The development comes following comments by Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle regarding Osimhen’s absence from Nigeria’s upcoming friendly matches against Poland and Portugal.
Explaining his decision, Chelle said: “Victor Osimhen will not be in our friendly matches against Poland and Portugal. Because there may be a possibility of a club change. Therefore, I preferred him to stay at home. If your mind is not 100% here, going out on the field to play does not create a good situation.”
However, Osimhen later clarified the situation, insisting that Chelle’s remarks had been taken out of context.
The 27-year-old striker remains one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe, with speculation over his future continuing to intensify ahead of the new season.
