Galatasaray’s head coach, Okan Buruk, has confirmed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen will remain with the team until the end of the season, putting an end to transfer rumors.
Currently on loan from Napoli, Osimhen has been a standout player for the Turkish champions since his arrival, contributing significantly to their successes this season.
Recently, speculation has swirled about a possible move to Manchester United, fueled by reports of the Premier League club’s interest and a clause in his contract allowing a January transfer.
However, Buruk dismissed these rumors, assuring fans that the 25-year-old forward is focused on finishing the season with Galatasaray.
“Victor has made it clear that he wants to stay here,” Buruk said during an interview. “From the moment he joined us, he expressed his commitment to the team and hasn’t wavered from that stance.”
Osimhen’s impact has been undeniable, with eight goals and four assists in just nine appearances across competitions. His performances have cemented his place as one of Galatasaray’s most valuable players this season.
While the January transfer window looms, Buruk’s statement underscores Osimhen’s dedication to the team and his role in their ongoing campaign.
