Turkey giants, Galatasaray, are making plans to sell their training facilities, earmarked around €800–900million, in order to fund their summer transfer quests, which include keeping Victor Osimhen permanently in Istanbul.
According to Sky Sport Deutschland, Galatasaray are poised to go to extraordinary lengths this summer to achieve their ambitions in the transfer market with the sale of their training facilities, in order to flood their first team with talents including Osimhen and Leroy Sane.
Osimhen was signed on a season-long loan by Galatasaray from Napoli and proved a roaring success, scoring 37 goals in 41 games across all competitions.
Galatasaray retained the Super Lig title as well as won the Turkish Cup.
The Nigerian international created the window for Galatasaray to bid for Osimhen’s permanent stay in the Super Lig when he rejected Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal’s offer of paying the €75million release clause and a yearly €35 million wage.
Should the deal for the sale of the training facilities pull through, Galatasaray would be able to fund Napoli’s release clause of €75million while also agreeing a decent wage package for Osimhen.
Chelsea and Manchester United are the other Premier League clubs also interested in signing Osimhen, even as Juventus have not given up their quest.
