Mourinho on Osimhen: ‘There’s one thing about him that irritates me’

Turkish Super Lig has recently been in the public eye all over the globe. The greatest Turkish clubs, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, have been in the process of making “dream teams” and bringing in several outstanding reinforcements in the past few years. Signed for a year but could move in January – Osimhen’s clause revealedGalatasaray signed Mauro Icardi and Dries Mertens two years ago, Hakim Ziyech a year later, and finally, in the recently finished transfer window, Michy Batshuayi and one of the biggest transfer bombs, Victor Osimhen. On the other hand, Fenerbahce relied on the Balkan experience, adding the trio of Dusan Tadic, Edin Dzeko, and Dominik Livakovic, as well as the Brazilian Fred in 2023. The final touch was the latest transfer of Filip Kostic from Juventus and the entrusting of the bench to “The Special One,” Jose Mourinho.##NAJAVA_MECA_8328653##The 61-year-old strategist will have a tough task to bring the title back to the yellow and blue part of Istanbul and stop Galatasaray’s domination since Fenerbahce have won their last championship ten years ago. Osimhen’s arrival made it even more complicated for Mourinho, and now everyone would like to hear his opinion on the rival’s transfer move.”Osimhen is a fantastic player. If I were at a club with the potential to pay his €70-75 million transfer fee, I’d buy him. He is a fantastic player. Of course, he can be in different circumstances, but in the end, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that Galatasaray got an absolutely fantastic player,” said “The Special One” in an interview with HT Spor.José Mourinho says Victor Osimhen is a ‘fantastic player’, but doesn’t like his behaviour sometimes.”He dives too much. You look to the past [of African football], Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, George Weah… You can not behave like this.” pic.twitter.com/x7bqjALOMe— IM🇵🇹 (@Iconic_Mourinho) September 10, 2024 Another intriguing topic was his relationship with the Nigerian since Mou battled out with Osimhen’s Napoli while leading Roma.”I’ve never had an issue with him personally, but there’s one thing about him that irritates me when he’s on the opposing team. During one of our Roma-Napoli encounters, I took the time to speak with him. I told him, ‘You and Salah are currently the best African players, following in the footsteps of legends like Drogba, Eto’o, and Weah. But you cannot continue to play the way you do.’ He tends to go down too easily, and that’s where my problem lies,” revealed Mourinho.
