Osimhen allegedly urges Lookman to join Galatasaray for Super Eagles reunion

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has allegedly encouraged teammate Ademola Lookman to consider a transfer to Turkish giants Galatasaray ahead of the 2026 summer transfer window. The Nigerian forward, who has established himself as a key player at Istanbul-based Galatasaray, reportedly told Lookman: 'We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.'

Since joining Atlético Madrid from Atalanta this winter, Lookman has impressed with nine goals and four assists in 24 matches across all competitions. Despite his successful adaptation to La Liga, speculation about his future continues to grow.

A move to Galatasaray would reunite the Super Eagles teammates and significantly strengthen the Turkish champions' attack for the 2026/27 season. Such a transfer could also position Lookman as a potential successor to Argentine forward Mauro Icardi, whose future at the club remains uncertain amid rumors of an exit this summer.

With both players in top form, would a Super Eagles strike force at Galatasaray make Nigeria the team to watch in international competitions next season?
