Galatasaray are not in any way ready to give up on landing the services of Henry Onyekuru on a permanent contract this summer, according to media reports emanating from Turkey.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray failed to make use of the 4 million 350 thousand Euro option which they had available until 11 June to sign Onyekuru permanently from Ligue 1 club, Monaco.

According to Turkish sports daily, Fanatik, the future of manager, Fatih Terim will be a decisive factor in the Nigerian winger completing a permanent summer move to Galatasaray.

Giving priority to Cim Bom, the 24-year-old star is, however, waiting for the presidential election to be held on 19 June so as to know if the next Galatasaray will retain Terim.

Olympiacos on the other hand reportedly gave Onyekuru an ultimatum until this weekend for the Nigerian attacker to make a decision on his future but he is waiting on Galatasaray.

According to Fanatik, Galatasaray boss, Terim whose future at the Turkish Super Lig side is at the moment quite uncertain sent a message to Onyekuru, saying ‘Wait to hear from me.’

And according to new reports in Turkey, the 24-year-old winger wants to stay in Istanbul and play for a team in the city even if he does not get to continue with Galarasaray.

Onyekuru who has a contract with Monaco until 2024 scored four of his five goals in 14 Turkish Super Lig appearances for Galatasaray during the season playing as a substitute.
