Osimhen sends message to Okan Buruk
Okan Buruk was instrumental in Galatasaray securing Osimhen on loan and has deployed him effectively, helping him to get in great positions to score goals.
Turkish journalist Adnan Aybaba has disclosed his conversation with Osimhen and what the Nigerian told Buruk as discussions around his future continue.
“I spoke to Victor Osimhen himself. I chatted through his translator. I said, 'Will you come to Beşiktaş?' He said, 'I won't.' He loves Galatasaray very much,” Aybaba told Telegol. "Okan Buruk went to Italy with Galatasaray executives at the beginning of the season to buy Osimhen.
"Now he is trying to convince him to stay at Galatasaray. He said to Osimhen, 'Stay here, let's be a family. After Mauro Icardi gets better, you will play with him, you will achieve great success.’”
"Osimhen responded by saying, 'I came here on loan, but there is a great friendship. It feels like I have been in Istanbul for 10 years.',” he added.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea and Manchester United are ready to trigger his release clause in January, even though he has no desire to leave Galatasaray.
