Olympiakos: Basaksehir derby – Turks see Galatasaray for Oniekuru

Not a day goes by without his name Henry Oniekourou did not appear in the Turkish press.

The Nigerian winger has made a good name for himself in the neighboring country and, since he has not yet played according to high expectations at Olympiakos, is constantly presented as a transfer target for the financially strong Super Lig teams.

Last in the game, according to the same sources, was the Basaksehir. The Istanbul team and champions of 2020 have handed the Bosnian Edin Vitska over to Trabzonspor from Tassos Bacaceta and appear ready to spend a decent amount on his replacement. According to the report, their priority is the purchase of Oniekouros by the Champion of Greece, to which it is said to have already submitted a proposal of 2.5 million euros in order to create a strong basis for negotiations.

A sum that does not even come close to double what the red-whites had spent six months ago to buy it from Monaco. So it makes sense that Piraeus did not even step into the process to refute the information.

At the same time, Galatasaray seems to want the Nigerian winger who is missing from the Copa Africa. A team with which Oniekourou had scored 22 goals and 12 assists in 71 games over the past two years.

Fatih Terim’s Chim Bom seems to have loaned the 24-year-old extreme striker with an option to buy for next summer. Something that Olympiacos didn’t want to comment on either.

Accordingly, they do not deal with what is being written about his case in Bulgaria Kirill Despodov from Ludogorez. The 25-year-old winger had played well in Champions League qualifying but Olympiakos’ priorities are different in the January transfer window. Unless there is a need for midfield in the meantime.
