Gala reject Gyökeres plus €30m for Osimhen – Report

Arsenal's bid to secure Victor Osimhen has been rejected by Galatasaray in favor of Viktor Gyökeres and a €30 million fee, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. Turkish journalist Ömer Faruk Özcan reported the news via Nexus Sports. Arsenal officials had traveled to Istanbul to convince Galatasaray to part with Osimhen, but the Turkish champions were not interested in the proposal.

Osimhen is considered one of the most valuable players in world football by Galatasaray, and they have set a valuation for the Nigerian forward between €130 million and €150 million. The club's confidence in Osimhen is evident, as he has scored 59 goals and provided 16 assists in 74 appearances for the Turkish side since joining in 2025.

These statistics have helped Galatasaray win back-to-back Turkish Super Lig titles and become regular contenders in the Champions League. Osimhen's fan base has grown under his tenure, and he has become a valuable asset to the team. Despite Arsenal's previous interest in the player, Galatasaray remains committed to keeping Osimhen and has specific terms that must be met before any potential sale.
