Osimhen Interested in Galatasaray Move as Club Sends Team to Nigeria to Push Deal
Victor Osimhen is said to be in good spirits as Turkish club Galatasaray step up their efforts to sign him permanently this summer. A fresh report by Turkish journalist Kağan Dursun suggests that Galatasaray’s vice-president, Abdullah Kavukcu, has taken bold steps to move the deal forward.
A representative was reportedly sent to Nigeria to engage with Osimhen directly and also held talks at the Turkish Consulate, hinting at serious intent from the club. Dursun explained that these moves aren’t random, saying Kavukcu wouldn’t travel to Italy to meet with Napoli or send someone to Nigeria unless there were meaningful discussions already underway.
He noted that Osimhen has shown clear interest, saying the player has given a “green light” to Galatasaray. But that doesn’t mean a final decision has been made. “Osimhen is currently leaning toward Galatasaray, but if a top club or a wealthy Middle Eastern side comes in with a huge offer, things could shift quickly,” he added.
Osimhen is still tied to Napoli, but Galatasaray are pushing hard to lock down the Super Eagles star while he remains open to talks.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
