Three reasons why Osimhen wanted Leão at Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen was not just watching Galatasaray’s pursuit of Rafael Leão from the sidelines.
According to T24, the Nigeria striker called his close friend and tried to convince him to choose Galatasaray. The call came as the Turkish champions fought Aston Villa for the Portugal winger, with the club offering Leão a reported €12 million net salary per season. Aston Villa’s offer was about €7.5m.
The move has since taken a major step forward. Galatasaray announced on Saturday that it had started official talks with Leão and AC Milan. Leão is expected in Istanbul to complete discussions later in the day.
