Victor Osimhen has been enjoying his loan stint so far with Galatasaray, and the Nigerian striker has provided an update on his future.
Osimhen sought to leave Napoli during the summer 2024 transfer window, but found his options limited.
After a late move to Al-Ahli fell through on deadline day as the Saudi Pro League side decided to sign Brentford’s Ivan Toney instead, Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan, and the Nigerian striker has been on top form for them as they lead the Super Lig standings.
Chelsea had been interested in signing Osimhen in the summer, but a move never came to fruition.
Over the last few weeks, following Osimhen’s progress in Turkey, reports have suggested that Enzo Maresca’s side are looking to reopen negotiations with the Nigerian over a January move.
However, Osimhen has now put those rumours to bed.
Speaking to the media after scoring twice in a 3-2 win against Tottenham on Thursday, Osimhen said:
“I will not leave in January, I am at Galatasaray until the end of the season.
“I do not know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about afterwards, but if they come to me, we will talk.
“Galatasaray is a nice club that I like very much.
“I am very happy at Galatasaray.”
