'Acquired a star' - Turkish commentator says Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray annoyed Turkish clubs

The high-profile move of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Turkish giants Galatasaray has reportedly unsettled rival clubs in Turkey, according to renowned TRT Sports commentator Ömer Üründül.

Speaking to habersarikirmizi.com, Üründül highlighted the significance of the transfer, particularly its impact on the competitive landscape of Turkish football.

"Galatasaray acquired Victor Osimhen, who has a market value of 75 million Euros, for free. This upset their rivals," Üründül stated, pointing out the financial and strategic implications of the acquisition. 

The deal, which saw Galatasaray secure the services of one of the world's most sought-after strikers without a transfer fee, has added a new dimension to their attacking prowess while simultaneously creating waves among competing clubs.

Üründül emphasized the magnitude of the transfer, emphasizing the unique qualities Osimhen brings to the Turkish Süper Lig.

"They brought in a man who has a market value all over the world. Moreover, he is a goal scorer," he remarked.

The commentator also highlighted the strategic importance of signing a forward of Osimhen's caliber.

"You did not acquire a midfielder or a defender, you acquired a star who is directly focused on scoring goals," Üründül explained.

This distinction, he suggested, elevates the significance of the deal and explains why it has caused a stir among Galatasaray's rivals.

Osimhen, previously linked with top clubs across Europe, has established himself as one of the most prolific strikers in the game.
