Transfer: Arsenal Send Message To Osimhen After Galatasaray’s Decision

Arsenal have reportedly told Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen that he would need to lower his salary demands if he wants to join the Premier League champions.

The Gunners remain interested in signing the Nigerian striker despite Galatasaray’s decision not to sell him during the current summer transfer window.

According to Foot Mercato, Arsenal have held talks regarding a possible deal for the 27-year-old forward.

However, the report states that Arsenal have no intention of making an unreasonable offer to Osimhen and are not prepared to match his current contract at Galatasaray, which is reportedly worth more than €20 million annually.

Osimhen is highly admired by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is looking to add another attacking player to his squad before the transfer window closes on September 1.

The Nigeria international must now decide whether to accept a lower salary from Arsenal or remain at Galatasaray beyond the summer transfer window.
