Despite the speculation surrounding the potential transfer of Super Eagles attacker, Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray’s coach Okan Buruk has firmly stated that the Nigerian will not be leaving the club in January.
The future of Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, remains a hot topic as he enjoys a standout season in Turkey.
With six goals in the league and two in the Europa League, Osimhen’s impressive performances have drawn attention from clubs across Europe, including teams in Italy, the Premier League, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Buruk addressed the situation in a recent press conference, saying: “Victor has every intention to stay here until the end of the season. The release clause? It doesn’t matter; he has said he will stay. It’s the player who decides, and Osimhen has made it clear that he will not leave, and he has said this since he arrived.”
Buruk also touched upon Osimhen’s impact on the team and his commitment to Galatasaray. The striker’s presence has been vital as he continues to build chemistry with his teammates and contribute significantly to their success.
In addition to discussing Osimhen, Buruk provided an update on Mauro Icardi’s injury. He remarked, “Sometimes it’s necessary to rest certain players. There’s also a psychological aspect; Icardi has played very little for us at his best. He was just starting to recover when one injury led to another.”
