Victor Osimhen is Sad as Big Clubs Ignore Him While Galatasaray Want to Sign Him
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly feeling let down after failing to attract firm offers from top clubs across Europe’s biggest leagues. According to Turkish journalist Ali Naci Küçük, Osimhen had hoped for interest from major teams in England, France, or Spain—but none have made a concrete move for him so far.
“Osimhen was really disappointed that no big club from England, France or Spain came forward,” Küçük revealed on Futbol Arena’s YouTube show. “It made him sad. But Galatasaray is very serious about wanting him.” The Nigerian forward, who turns 26 this year, spent last season on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and became a key part of the team’s attack. While his next move remains undecided, Galatasaray are keen to keep him on a permanent deal.
Osimhen has been linked in the past with clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, PSG, Real Madrid, Juventus and even Saudi side Al Hilal. But as it stands, none of those links have led to a final offer. With the new season around the corner, all eyes are on where Osimhen will end up—especially as Galatasaray look to take advantage of the situation and secure his signature.
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.”
