They were his last resort, but he’s grown to like them and now does not want to leave! That’s the story of Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray. When his moves to Chelsea and Saudi Arabia failed and sitting in the stands at Napoli threatened to ruin his entire season, the Turkish Super Lig side was there to give him refuge, and the 25-year-old apparently appreciates it and knows how to return the “favour.”🚨🔴🟡 Victor #Osimhen is currently not planning a move in winter and Galatasaray are now making serious efforts to keep him in summer.
