Diego Demme urges Osimhen to leave Galatasaray for EPL or LaLiga
Diego Demme, former Napoli teammate of Victor Osimhen, has advised the Nigerian striker to leave Galatasaray for a move to the Premier League or LaLiga. Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli in 2024, signed permanently in 2025, and has won back-to-back Turkish Super Lig titles while being linked with clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea, Juventus and Atletico Madrid. Demme told R.org that although Osimhen is happy in Istanbul and loves the fans, he believes the striker deserves to play for one of Europe’s biggest clubs to gain greater visibility.
This matters to Nigerians because Osimhen is one of the nation’s most prominent football talents; a transfer to a top European league could boost his profile, increase earnings, and inspire younger players back home. It also raises questions about whether staying in Turkey limits his growth compared to the higher competition and exposure available in England or Spain.
Osimhen’s current contract with Galatasaray runs until 2027, and any transfer would depend on a suitable offer and the player’s willingness to move. Fans should watch for official interest from EPL or LaLiga clubs, consider how such a move might affect Nigeria’s international standing in football, and think about what level of competition best supports Osimhen’s ambition to win major trophies and individual accolades.
If you follow Osimhen’s career, will you support a move to a bigger league for his growth, or do you think staying in Galatasaray and continuing to dominate domestically is the better path for him and Nigerian football?
