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.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
