Arsenal Sporting Director Meets Galatasaray President Over Osimhen
Fresh details have emerged about Arsenal’s surprise presence at the Galatasaray vs Fenerbahçe derby, with reports suggesting the English club’s interest in Victor Osimhen was at the heart of a late-night meeting.
According to Serkan Korkmaz on the Libero TV YouTube channel, Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta was in Istanbul as a special guest at Rams Park to watch the heated clash. Korkmaz revealed that Berta later met privately with Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek.
‘Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta came to Rams Park to watch the derby. Yesterday, all of Turkey heard it from me. I will share information as I get it,’ Korkmaz said, adding: ‘There is a very deep mystery in this business. Arsenal Sporting Director and Dursun Özbek met at night. Whatever you heard about the agenda of the duo, who were alone in the meeting, is not true. Of course, if you haven’t heard it from Özbek. I learned about Arsenal’s goal; Osimhen.’
The revelation confirms that Arsenal’s interest in Galatasaray’s Nigerian striker is serious, coming just days after scouts from several European giants were spotted in Istanbul monitoring his performance.
