Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has turned down a potential transfer to Manchester United, choosing instead to remain at Galatasaray for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old, who is on loan from Napoli, has been in stellar form with the Turkish club, recording 13 goals and five assists in 16 appearances across all competitions.
Despite the interest from Manchester United, Osimhen has decided to stay in Istanbul to help Galatasaray in their ongoing campaign. His decision has reportedly frustrated Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, who was hoping for a lucrative permanent deal this month.
Osimhen's impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, and he remains one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe. While he has committed to finishing the season with Galatasaray, Osimhen has not ruled out a potential move to the Premier League in the summer.
Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, visited Osimhen to persuade him to consider a mid-season exit, but the forward stood firm in his decision. De Laurentiis expressed his frustration, stating, "Let him stay where he is, then tell Galatasaray to come and take him."
Osimhen's future remains uncertain, but his current focus is on helping Galatasaray achieve their goals for the season. Football fans around the world will be keeping a close eye on his next move.
