"Osimhen has a January exit clause, there is no clause stating that he will only play for Galatasaray. Osimhen's promise is clear, if you can convince him, do it.”
However, the efforts of the English club reportedly fell short, as Osimhen remains committed to Galatasaray for now.

Dursun went on to explain that Osimhen's January exit clause does not limit him to playing exclusively for Galatasaray.
