Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed his commitment to Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray, making it clear that he intends to stay at the club for many years, LMSINT MEDIA reports. The 26-year-old forward officially completed a permanent move to RAMS Park earlier this month from Serie A giants Napoli, where he had previously enjoyed significant success. His transfer has been highly celebrated by Galatasaray fans, especially after the impact he made during his loan spell last season. During his loan period, Osimhen quickly became a fan favorite, winning the admiration of supporters with his goal-scoring ability and relentless fighting spirit. That connection has only grown stronger since his official return. On Saturday night, the Super Eagles star was once again decisive, finding the back of the net in Galatasaray’s 3-1 victory over Caykur Rizespor at RAMS Park under the management of Okan Buruk. With this goal, Osimhen has now registered two goals in his last two appearances for the Turkish champions, showing his consistency and sharpness in front of goal. Speaking after the match, Osimhen expressed his joy and pride at being back at Galatasaray, declaring his long-term commitment to the club. “It feels incredible to be back here. The fans, the management, and everyone at the club wanted me, and I am finally home. This was my desire for a long time, and now I am here for good. I see myself at Galatasaray for many years to come,” Osimhen told the club’s official website. The Nigerian international’s declaration has further strengthened the belief of Galatasaray supporters that he will play a vital role in the team’s domestic and European campaigns in the coming years.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has openly shared the reasons behind his decision to remain at Galatasaray, despite receiving several lucrative offers from some of Europe’s biggest clubs. The forward explained that one of the most important factors in his decision was the value and respect he felt at Galatasaray, something he believed would be hard to find elsewhere. Osimhen, who officially joined Galatasaray on a permanent transfer from Napoli during the summer window, revealed that he had serious interest from elite clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Al-Hilal. These teams made strong attempts to secure his signature, but the 26-year-old made a heartfelt choice. Speaking after Galatasaray’s 3-1 victory against Çaykur Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday, Osimhen shared: “Deep down, I already knew where I wanted to be. Galatasaray valued me as both a player and a person. My fans and my club gave me something different. Here, there is mutual respect — whether you are in the starting eleven or coming off the bench, you are always appreciated.” He admitted that the most challenging aspect of his decision was the financial temptation from the massive offers he received. “Of course, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in those big offers. They were from top clubs with huge financial backing. But at the end of the day, my happiness and sense of belonging at Galatasaray mattered most.” Osimhen concluded by reaffirming his commitment and joy to continue his journey in Turkey, despite the heavy competition for his services across Europe and beyond.
