Galatasaray continue to pursue the permanent signing of Victor Osimhen, and a Turkish football expert has rated the chances of the deal being completed.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan after Napoli froze him out of the squad after his failure to secure permanent moves away before the deadline day.

As noted by Transfermarkt, he has contributed to 15 goals in 14 games in all competitions across the Turkish Super Lig and the UEFA Europa League despite missing games due to injury.
Osimhen's chances of joining Galatasaray
The Turkish champions are not financially equipped to sign Osimhen permanently as he will cost around €75 million after Napoli dropped his release clause.
Football expert Mehmet Demirkol is not optimistic that the Istanbul-based club can sign Osimhen and made an analogy that describes how impossible it is.
"There is the Osimhen issue. Can we find 70 million Euros? Sponsors and such... Of course, such a thing is not possible," Demirkol told Socrates Magazine.
“There is no question of something like 'I found a sponsor, he is bringing it to 70 million Euros'. This is forbidden in football, but it is not possible to explain this.”
“How are you going to find a €70 million sponsor for a player? There is no such thing. If there was such a thing, Newcastle United would pay the money and get Mbappe,” he concluded.
Napoli are not ready to deal with Gala if they cannot pay the full fee, having already reduced it from €130 million. Other top clubs are interested, including Serie A teams.
