Galatasaray Asks Osimhen to Make Decision About His Future Before July Ends
The management of Turkish giants Galatasaray has reportedly told Victor Osimhen and his camp to speed up talks about his future and not delay their response beyond early July. This was revealed by a well-known football analyst Serkan Korkmaz during a recent update on Osimhen’s situation on Kontraspor’s YouTube channel.
According to Korkmaz, Galatasaray made it clear they don’t want the negotiations to drag endlessly. He explained, “Good news has come in for Galatasaray supporters. The club has asked Osimhen and his team to make a decision by the start of July. They want clarity on the situation soon.”
It’s understood that Galatasaray remains interested and hasn’t pulled out of the race, but they have now set a rough deadline for talks to conclude. Osimhen recently completed his loan spell with Galatasaray, which ended a few weeks ago. The Super Eagles striker, who initially joined from Napoli, is currently on summer break.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
