President of Fenerbahce, Ali Koc has scaled the strenght and talent of Victor Osimhen and capacity of Galatasaray and concluded that he is too big for the Turkish Club.
He viewed Galatasaray as a lucky club for signing the Super Eagles man goal machine.
The 26-year-old talented striker, enjoying his loan spel at Galatasaray, Fenerbahce’s fierce Istanbul rivals, has displayed impressive performance with 33 goals across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds.
“Osimhen is a special player and a player above Turkey,” Koc told TRT Spor, he is in a different category. He also comes once in 40 years.
"There is talk about whether he will stay or not. Accounts, books, taxes, agreements… If it is done according to the rules, there will be no room for a spending limit!”
However; Fenerbahce fans have slammed Koc for failing to sign the dynamic forward. Koc clarified that Osimhen was never offered to Fenerbahce, and unique circumstances paved the way for Galatasaray’s coup.
“For those who don’t know about Osimhen’s transfer, let me tell you; luck was on Galatasaray’s side,” he said.
“It was very good for them because Mauro Icardi was injured. It was a windfall. If it had been both, it could have been a problem.”
Osimhen is unlikely to remain in Turkey beyond the end of the season as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Saudi Arabian teams reportedly vying for the 26-year-old’s signature.
