Victor Osimhen has a big decision to make over his future, and Galatasaray president has confirmed when the Super Eagles forward will announce his decision.

He has started strongly in Istanbul, contributing to 14 goals in his first 12 games and making the Turkish champions decide to pursue a permanent move for him.
According to Sozcu, Gala cannot afford his €75 million release clause, and Napoli will not accept their proposed €50mil, having reduced the fee from €130mil before he moved to Turkey.

Ozbek provides update on Osimhen
Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has confirmed that there is a break clause in the loan deal despite initial denial but added that the player will be in Turkey till the end of the season.
“He is our player this season,” he said, as quoted by Sporskor. “There is a very difficult clause for him to leave during the mid-season break. According to our agreement, he will play for us until the end of the season.
“No one should bend it. He will make his own decision at the end of the season.”
His permanent signing is not an immediate priority for Galatasaray, but the signing of a strike partner for him after Mauro Icardi's season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury.
They are reportedly considering many options including Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Bayer Leverkusen and Super Eagles star Nathan Tella.
