Victor Osimhen’s price tag could rise to €150m – Former Besiktas defender Emre Eren warns suitors

Former Besiktas defender Emre Eren has given teams interested in Victor Osimhen an important update regarding the price tag of the Nigeria international, indicating that it could rise to €150 million considering his output for Galatasaray. 

Osimhen secured a permanent move to Galatasaray in the summer transfer window following an impressive loan spell last season. He was directly involved in 45 goals in 41 games, helping the Istanbul giants secure a domestic double last term.

Despite interest from top clubs in Europe, Osimhen opted to join Galatasaray permanently from Napoli on a historic transfer fee worth €75 million.

Osimhen hasn’t slowed down this season, scoring six goals, including crucial strikes in the UEFA Champions League.

He recently became Galatasaray’s fastest goalscorer in Champions League history with his early goal against Bodø/Glimt. In the same match, the forward became the first Galatasaray player to score in seven consecutive European games, highlighting his consistent impact.

The forward is rapidly increasing his value in Turkish football and Europe. The 26-year-old forward has hit the ground running, prompting former Beşiktaş defender Emre Eren to speculate about his price tag, saying it could soon rise to a staggering €150 million.

“Victor Osimhen is a completely different player,” Eren stated in an interview. “If Osimhen continues with this performance this season, if he keeps reflecting these qualities on the field, in the Champions League… They would pay 150 million euros for this guy” he said in an interview.

As Osimhen enters his prime, talk of a move has intensified, with Chelsea, Barcelona and Manchester United seeking for a top-class centre-forward.

The Spanish giants view Osimhen as a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski. However, the Turkish giants are currently enjoying the rewards of their bold transfer, and if Eren’s prediction holds true, Galatasaray could soon have Europe’s next €150 million player.
