Galatasaray must speed up their move to sign Victor Osimhen on a permanent basis, according to Turkish reporter Savaş Çorlu on A Spor.

The Nigerian striker scored 37 goals in 41 games on loan at the Turkish club last season, making him arguably Europe’s most sought-after striker. His next club remains a mystery, with Manchester United, Al Hilal, and Arsenal showing strong interest.

Osimhen’s £64m release clause has put off some of Europe’s top clubs, including Arsenal, who are now focusing on alternatives like Gyokeres.

Çorlu suggests Osimhen’s cost could fund four Champions League players.

“They can transfer 4 players at Champions League level, with the transfer cost it will make for Osimhen,” he said.

“Even in this process, they are taking risks and waiting. I don’t think they will wait any longer.”

He added, “The Osimhen incident needs to be clear as soon as possible. The whole community needs to know about this process. I heard a mention of July 15 today.”
