Osimhen Says He Will Stay at Galatasaray If They Build a Stronger Team
Victor Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray is still uncertain, but the club is doing all it can to keep the Nigerian star, including bringing in major reinforcements. According to Turkish journalist Ali Naci Küçük, Osimhen made it clear that he would only consider staying if the club was serious about building a top-level squad—and that demand played a key role in their recent move to sign Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich.
Sané, who will leave Bayern when his contract ends on June 30, has already agreed to a three-year deal with the Turkish champions. The German winger will earn €9 million per season plus a €3 million loyalty bonus. However, he might still feature for Bayern Munich in the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup before his switch becomes official.
Osimhen, who scored 37 goals and delivered 8 assists during his loan spell at Galatasaray, is not rushing into a decision about his future. Despite the club’s eagerness to tie him down, he is taking his time to assess the project. Küçük revealed that Osimhen’s stance echoes that of Mauro Icardi when he joined the club. “Icardi once said, ‘If you build a strong team, I’ll stay.’ Osimhen said the same,” he explained during an interview on Futbol Arena’s YouTube channel.
Galatasaray have reportedly offered Osimhen a contract worth €14 million a year, plus bonuses. But according to the insider, while the club is moving fast, Osimhen remains calm and cautious. “He deserves time and understanding,” Küçük added, urging fans and media to respect the striker’s decision-making process.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
