Victor Osimhen played a starring role as Galatasaray cruises to a 5-1 victory over Konyaspor, booking their spot in the Turkish Cup final. The Nigerian forward opened the scoring in the 26th minute, rising high to head home a perfect cross from Dries Mertens.

Just after the break, Osimhen turned provider, setting up Rolland Sallai for Galatasaray’s third goal. The 26-year-old now boasts 30 goals and six assists in 35 appearances across all competitions this season.

Osimhen was substituted in the 73rd minute, with Yusuf Demir coming on in his place, as Galatasaray continued their pursuit of a potential domestic double.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be part of Al Nassr’s squad as they take on Damac in their upcoming Saudi Pro League match. The 40-year-old captain has been left out of the 20-man list, with the club choosing to rest him ahead of their important AFC Champions League fixture.

Ronaldo’s absence is a strategic move by head coach Stefano Pioli, who is focusing on keeping his key players fresh for Saturday’s quarter-final clash against Japan’s Yokohama F. Marinos. The decision marks only the second time this season that Ronaldo has missed a league game, the first being back in October 2024 when Al Nassr played out a 3–3 draw with Al Kholood.

Sadio Mané will also miss the Damac game due to suspension. In their absence, Colombian forward Jhon Durán will step up to lead the attack.

With big games ahead in the Champions League, Pioli is clearly putting long-term goals first, prioritizing fitness and form over short-term league fixtures.

Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Manchester United ahead of a potential summer transfer. This is according to Turkish journalist Serdar Çelikler.

As at now, Osimhen’s agreement with United is said to be in place. However, the club still needs to negotiate a deal with Napoli to secure his signature. The Premier League side is on the lookout for a new top striker this summer. This is  particularly after Rasmus Hojlund’s underwhelming performance this season.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been in exceptional form. He scored 29 goals,  providing 6 assists in 34 appearances this season. His release clause stands at €75 million (£63 million), but reports suggest that Napoli may be open to offering United a discount to facilitate the deal.

While personal terms are sorted, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United and Napoli can agree on a final transfer price.
