A football analyst provided an insightful alternative if signing Victor Osimhen is out of reach.

Oguzhan Ozyakup, a Turkish football analyst, has proposed an alternative strategy to Galatasaray should they eventually conclude that they cannot afford to sign Osimhen.

Project Osimhen 

The Cim-Bom's desire to keep Osimhen beyond his current loan deal is a poorly guarded secret. However, so is his €75 million release clause. 

Napoli are not budging on that fee, and Galatasaray are only one of the multiple clubs interested in the Nigerian. Despite their keen interest, however, and the player's love for the club, this transfer fee is €57 million more than their record transfer fee—€18 million paid to Norwich for Gabriel Sara.

Victor Osimhen has scored 31 goals this season for Galatasaray.

What Ozyakup said 

Galatasaray’s desire to sign Osimhen has divided opinions within the country. While some analysts think it's a no-brainer, given the Nigerian's impact in the league, others like Ozyakup think they are better served spreading their money around. 

"If Galatasaray cannot buy Osimhen, they should buy a player around that age,” he said. The cost is too much. I think a striker can be bought for 15-20 million Euros instead. 

“You are successful in the league anyway. I don't think Premier League clubs will pay the money Osimhen gets. Only the best 5-6 teams in the world can. He is both a good football player and a good person."
