Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek Denies Salary Owed to Victor Osimhen, Insists Players Paid in Full

Galatasaray S.K. president Dursun Özbek has strongly refuted reports circulating in Turkey that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and some of his teammates are owed unpaid salaries.

In recent days, several Turkish media outlets claimed that Osimhen had not received wages for two or even three months, sparking speculation about possible unrest within the squad. However, Özbek has dismissed the allegations, describing them as baseless and misleading.

Addressing the reports, the 76-year-old club chief made it clear that Galatasaray have met all their financial obligations to players.

"If you make things up, you'll create crises like this. Galatasaray is an elite team made up of world-class footballers. You can't make these players play with just words. If players don't receive their salaries for two or three months, they won't play. These kinds of reports are an insult to the professionalism of our players. There are bonus and incentive clauses, and we pay them all on time. Galatasaray has not defaulted on a single lira, not a single lira overdue."
