Victor Osimhen: Turkish Analyst Names Ideal Replacement for Galatasaray’s Loan Star
- Galatasaray are making efforts to sign Victor Osimhen permanently after impressing early into his loan move
- The Turkish champions could fail to land the Nigerian as he could be deemed too expensive in fees and salary
- A Turkish football expert has disclosed that the club are sounding other targets, including a Liverpool star
Galatasaray could be looking at other potential targets if they are unable to sign Victor Osimhen, and a Turkish football expert has disclosed the possible player they could sign.
Osimhen joined the Turkish champions on a season-long loan from Napoli after his relationship with the club broke down over botched moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Ahli.
He has started brightly into his loan move, and the Turkish giants have resolved to pursue a permanent move for him, even though he's nearly four times more than their record signing.
Turkish expert discloses Galatasaray’s plan
Turkish football expert Serdar Ali Çelikler has opened up on the Lions’ plans in case they cannot get Osimhen and Napoli to agree to a permanent move.

"Even if Osimhen doesn't stay, Galatasaray will get a player of that level. Because they've seen those places. The eye is afraid of what it sees,” he told Habersarikirmizi.
“I don't think anyone lower will get him. There won't be a serious loss of level after this.”
“Galatasaray is really thinking about Mohamed Salah. It's an extremely difficult transfer, but they are thinking about it,” he added.
Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool contract runs out at the end of the 2024/25 season. As noted by BBC Sports, the Egyptian publicly confirmed he has yet to be offered a new contract.
This comment did not sit down well with former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who slammed him as selfish with the club mounting a title challenge in Arne Slot’s first season.
