Galatasaray make €130 million valuation on Osimhen amid interest from Barcelona


Turkish champions Galatasaray have made a whopping €130 million valuation on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, amid growing interest from Barcelona and other top European clubs.

BusinessDay recently reported that Barcelona are considering Osimhen as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to leave the Catalan giants at the end of the season.

However, Galatasaray have made it clear that their prized forward will only be sold for a record-breaking fee.

Sources told Turkish-Football that the club will not consider any offer worth less than €130 million, with management determined to keep the 26-year-old Nigerian barring any club willing to pay his valuation fee.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray permanently from Napoli during the 2025 summer transfer window for around €75 million and is under contract until 2029, making any move financially complex.

Since his arrival, the Nigerian international has been in great form and has scored six goals in nine matches in all competitions.
