Super Eagles Striker Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed his commitment to Galatasaray, effectively shutting down transfer links to European giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
The Super Eagles striker, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, said he feels settled in Istanbul and has no immediate plans to leave the Turkish champions despite growing interest from top clubs across Europe.
“I’ve found a home here,” Osimhen said, describing Galatasaray as a place of “love, unity and respect,” while noting that both his family and close circle are comfortable with life at the club.
His comments come amid strong interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have been monitoring his performances and exploring potential moves for the prolific forward.
Galatasaray have also made their position clear, with reports indicating the club is unwilling to sell the striker and is instead building future plans around him.
Osimhen’s impressive form has been a key factor behind the interest, having delivered consistently in front of goal since joining the club permanently.
The development is a significant boost for Galatasaray as they aim to maintain domestic dominance and compete strongly in Europe, while dealing a setback to clubs hoping to lure one of Africa’s most sought-after forwards away this summer.
