Victor Osimhen’s loan from Napoli has a condition that permits the striker to join one of his interested teams during the January transfer window, according to Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk.
The 25-year-old Super Eagles attacker intends to finish the season with the Turkish powerhouses, according to Buruk, who made this announcement at a news conference on Sunday.
Osimhen’s future was widely discussed over the summer, and he ultimately signed with Galatasaray on the last day of the transfer window following unsuccessful moves to Al-Ahli and Chelsea.
He said, ”Osimhen has the intention of staying here until the end of the season. He also wants to stay; he said the same thing at the beginning.
“There is a clause there, but it doesn’t matter; he said he will stay. There is a clause about transfers in January. This clause has different things.
“The important thing is the player. The player who decides. That’s why Osimhen says he will stay here. He said the same thing when he came.
“If the player wants to stay, Galatasaray will do whatever it takes to keep him, even if it means pushing the limits financially. While an immediate transfer seems unlikely, a move could happen at the end of the season,” he said.
Osimhen has made an immediate impact in Istanbul, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in just nine appearances across all competitions.
