Galatasaray’s Küçük dismisses exit rumors, confirms Victor Osimhen is staying

Galatasaray reporter Ali Naci Küçük has dismissed rumors that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is considering leaving the Turkish champions this summer. Speaking on the 343 Digital YouTube channel, Küçük said Osimhen is not 100% considering a departure and had met two days earlier with head coach Okan Buruk and club officials to discuss team planning and training programs. The striker had been linked with moves to several European giants, including Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, as the summer transfer window opens.

For Nigerian fans, the clarification suggests Osimhen will remain at Galatasaray for the coming season, which could affect his availability for Super Eagles duties and influence his market value moving forward. The player’s continued presence in Istanbul also means Galatasaray retains its key attacking option as it pursues domestic and European ambitions.

Will Osimhen’s continued presence at Galatasaray influence his chances for Super Eagles selection, or should fans expect him to seek a move elsewhere in the next transfer window?
