Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen has reportedly turned down every offer that would see him leave the Turkish Süper Lig, where he is currently on loan at Galatasaray.
Osimhen joined the Yellow-Reds on loan from Napoli with a clause allowing him to join any club of his choice in January, provided there is an agreed deal with the Neapolitans.
The Nigerian international has quickly adjusted to life in Turkey, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 15 appearances for the club.
The Super Eagles talisman has been on the radar of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, who are particularly eager for a January deal to rescue their struggling Premier League campaigns.
Nigerian broadcast journalist Buchi Laba, who is close to Osimhen’s entourage, has confirmed there are numerous offers, including one from Manchester United. However, Osimhen has rejected every offer to remain at Galatasaray.
Currently, Galatasaray are on the verge of securing their 25th Süper Lig title, sitting eight points clear at the top of the league table and sixth in their Europa League group standings.
Reports further suggest that Osimhen is determined to see out the season with Galatasaray and win trophies with the team, rather than leave his job half-done with a midseason exit.
Moreover, the injury to Mauro Icardi has increased Galatasaray’s reliance on Osimhen, who is now a key target man in their attack.
As the January transfer window approaches, the Nigerian international is not expected to be a transfer focus, as he remains committed to his role at Galatasaray.
