Former Besiktas forward Nihat Kahveci recently shared that Galatasaray fans have been inquiring about the future of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
In an appearance on the Kontraspor YouTube channel, as reported by habersarikirmizi.com, Kahveci spoke highly of Osimhen’s performances and the growing speculation about his potential departure from the Turkish club.
Kahveci noted, “Galatasaray fans have even started asking me about Osimhen. I believe just keeping him would be an accomplishment because he’s a very big name. The teams interested in him are also very big.”
His remarks reflect the widespread admiration for Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer and has been in outstanding form this season.
Osimhen has scored 33 goals and provided 8 assists for Galatasaray in the current campaign, setting personal records for both goals and assists in a single season.
The striker’s remarkable contributions have earned him a reputation as one of Europe’s top forwards, drawing the attention of several major clubs across the continent.
Given the competition from elite teams, Kahveci acknowledged that merely retaining Osimhen would be a major achievement for Galatasaray.
As the club looks to strengthen its squad for future challenges, the future of Osimhen remains a key topic of interest.
His next move, whether it involves extending his time in Turkey or making a permanent transfer elsewhere, could significantly impact Galatasaray’s ambitions moving forward.
