Okocha tells Osimhen to Stay in Turkey After his Great Season with Galatasaray
Former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has shared advice for striker Victor Osimhen as he faces a big decision this summer. Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray remains uncertain after his season-long loan from Napoli ended in May. While Galatasaray want to sign him permanently, the Nigerian star has also attracted interest from clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia.
Speaking to Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor, Okocha, who once played for Galatasaray’s rivals Fenerbahçe, encouraged Osimhen to consider making sacrifices for the right move. “Turkey is an excellent place to live and play football,” Okocha said. “Osimhen had a fantastic season with Galatasaray and seems happy there. Sometimes, you need to make sacrifices when making career decisions. If he’s happy, why not stay?”
Okocha added he wasn’t sure where Osimhen would go next but wished him success wherever he lands. Last season, Osimhen scored an impressive 37 goals across all competitions for Galatasaray, clinching the Golden Boot as the Turkish Super Lig’s top scorer.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
