Osimhen Says He’s on Holiday While Big Clubs Wait for His Transfer Decision
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has opened up about the growing interest from top clubs looking to sign him this summer. Speaking during a chat with Daddy Freeze, the 26-year-old said he’s taking some time off to rest before making any decisions about his future.
Osimhen had an outstanding season on loan at Galatasaray, where he netted 37 goals in all competitions, claimed the Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot, and even won Goal of the Season. Despite turning down a lucrative offer from Saudi side Al-Hilal, big European names like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Juventus are reportedly keeping tabs on him. Galatasaray are also eager to bring him back on a permanent deal.
“When the season ends and the transfer window opens, it’s normal for clubs to show interest,” Osimhen said. “For now, I’m just enjoying my holiday. I’ve been reflecting on last season — watching my goals, going over my mistakes, and appreciating the good moments.”
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.”
