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.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
