In this moment, Victor Osimhen is a Galatasaray player on loan from Napoli but rumours of his potential move in January next summer continue to make the headlines.
A recent report has it that the Super Eagles striker is being linked to aove to Manchester United.
The deal includes Joshua Zirkzee to a Napoli + a €30m.
However, Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek has provided a fresh upadate on the future of Victor Osimhen.
According to him, Osimhen is a striker every club wants to sign. Even though Osimhen is on loan to the Turkish champions, the 75-year-old president didn’t rule out the possibility of signing the striker on permanent basis.
“Osimhen is a Galatasaray player. He is a very successful player. We are proud to have Turkish football fans watch such a player.”
“This is one of Galatasaray’s missions. Look back; Sneijder, Drogba, Hagi, Icardi, Osimhen… Galatasaray has a pioneering role in this sense, a mission to have Turkish people watch world stars. Osimhen is our player this season.”
“At the end of the season, during the transfer period, of course, all clubs, everyone wants to transfer Osimhen. One of the most important factors is spending limits.”
“It is too early for that. As you know, transfer capacity emerges within the limits. Therefore, let me say that this process continues, Galatasaray will be chasing the 5th star in the league until the end of the season.”
“This is its most important vision and goal. Galatasaray is a club that wants to have both its fans and Turkish football fans watch world star.”
Osimhen has had a fantastic start to life at Galatasaray with 6 goals and 2 assists in 8 matches so far this season.
The 25-year-old will be the focal point of Galatasaray’s attack line henceforth following Mauro Icardi’s injury.
The Argentine striker is expected to out for a lengthy period after suffering a Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear.
