Galatasaray have reportedly rejected a massive €120 million offer from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid for Nigerian international Victor Osimhen.
According to Turkish outlet Turkiye Gazetesi, Atletico Madrid submitted the record-breaking bid in an attempt to secure the services of the prolific Super Eagles striker ahead of the new season. However, the Turkish champions are said to have turned down the proposal, signaling their determination to keep hold of one of their most valuable assets.
Osimhen has continued to attract interest from top European clubs following his impressive performances in recent seasons. The Nigerian forward has established himself as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football thanks to his goal-scoring ability, physical presence, and consistency in front of goal.
The reported €120 million offer would have represented one of the biggest transfer deals involving a Nigerian player. Despite the enormous financial package, Galatasaray appear unwilling to part ways with the 27-year-old striker at this stage.
The development is expected to fuel further speculation surrounding Osimhen’s future, with several elite clubs across Europe believed to be monitoring his situation. Atletico Madrid’s interest highlights the growing demand for the Nigerian star, who remains a key figure for both club and country.
While neither Galatasaray nor Atletico Madrid has officially confirmed the report, the story has generated significant attention among football fans and transfer observers. As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Atletico will return with an improved offer or if other clubs will enter the race for Osimhen’s signature.
