Leao calls Osimhen a good friend after joining Galatasaray from AC Milan
Rafael Leao, the Portugal winger who moved from AC Milan to Galatasaray on Saturday, August 29, 2026, said his good friend Victor Osimhen will help them achieve great things together. Speaking after his arrival in Istanbul, Leao noted the warm welcome from Galatasaray fans and expressed his ambition to compete in the Champions League and win the league title with his new club. He emphasized that his friendship with the Nigerian striker Osimhen, currently also at Galatasaray, will be an asset on the pitch. Leao is expected to make his debut for Galatasaray in their next match against Istanbul Basaksehir next weekend.
For Nigerian fans, the pairing of Leao's pace and skill with Osimhen's goal-scoring ability could strengthen Galatasaray's attack in both domestic and European competitions. The move raises questions about how quickly the two can build chemistry and whether it will boost the club's Champions League prospects, giving Osimhen a bigger stage to showcase his talent. Will Leao's arrival elevate Galatasaray's title challenge and provide Osimhen with more opportunities to shine in Europe?
