After summer transfer drama, Osimhen commits to staying with Galatasaray until season’s end
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has set the record straight on his plans for the January transfer window, signaling to clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal that he intends to stay put in Turkey, at least for now. The 25-year-old, who joined Galatasaray on a surprise loan from Napoli, was heavily pursued by top European clubs last summer, with Chelsea leading the chase until the final hours of Deadline Day.
The Blues fought hard to secure the Nigerian forward but couldn’t meet his wage demands, leaving other suitors like Arsenal and PSG also empty-handed. PSG even reached personal terms with Osimhen, only for the deal to falter due to Napoli’s high transfer fee.
Since his move to Galatasaray, Osimhen has hit the ground running, tallying four goals and four assists in under 500 minutes of play—a goal contribution nearly every hour. His performance hasn’t gone unnoticed, especially as clubs still seek a reliable No. 9. However, Osimhen recently dismissed speculation about a mid-season move. When asked by fans outside Galatasaray’s training ground if he’d consider leaving in January, he replied firmly, “Of course I’ll stay here until the end of the season!”
This declaration of loyalty may prompt major European clubs to rethink their winter transfer strategies, knowing that Osimhen plans to honor his loan at Galatasaray.
