Galatasaray Vice President Abdullah Kavukcu also spoke on the Osimhen transfer.
Kavukcu said, “My president and I believed in this and started it in January. We worked hard to raise the money, without selling anything.
“We’re paying a certain portion upfront and will cover the entire amount within a year. We said Galatasaray had the capacity to pay this, and we did it.
“The final signings will be finalized on Thursday. Some people called us PR people. We expect those who did will pay us. The responsibility now falls on our fans.
“Galatasaray is huge! We achieved this without asking anyone for money. As for the other transfers, the fans should remain calm, believe in us, and trust us.”
Osimhen will sign a four-year contract that will pay him a salary of between 15 and 18 Million Euros a year.
