Telegol host Serhat Ulueren claims that Galatasaray vice-president Abdullah Kavukçu is facing significant strain following Victor Osimhen’s rejection of the club’s vice-captaincy role. During a recent match against Rennes, Osimhen declined to wear the captain’s armband, choosing instead to pass the responsibility to teammate Yunus Akgün. This incident during the 3-3 draw has highlighted internal friction within the team.
Ulueren further noted that the Galatasaray fanbase is growing increasingly restless due to the club’s perceived inactivity in the current summer transfer market. Beyond the situation with Osimhen, management is struggling to address the futures of other players. Davinson is reportedly seeking a move to Como, while Barış Alper Yılmaz has drawn interest from Premier League clubs. Ulueren emphasized that the volatile nature of football management means Kavukçu’s position remains precarious as these unresolved issues persist.
