Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has addressed the speculation surrounding striker Victor Osimhen’s future with the club. Currently on loan from Napoli, Osimhen has been the subject of transfer rumors, particularly linking him to a move to Chelsea during the January transfer window.
In a recent appearance on the program Ersin Düzen ile Futbolün 100’ü via 12punto, Buruk assured fans that Osimhen is content at Galatasaray, dismissing the likelihood of his departure.
“Osimhen said, ‘I will continue here, that is my thought’ since he came. He is very happy here,” Buruk stated. “If he was unhappy, if there was someone who said ‘I came here, why am I here,’ it could happen. But he’s not in that mindset.”
Buruk emphasized that the player’s happiness is crucial in any potential transfer discussions. “I don’t know the transfer conditions. The player’s desire is the main thing here. If the player wants, such a situation can happen. But when the player comes here, he thinks, ‘I will not leave here, even if there is a clause, I will stay here.’”
With Buruk’s comments, it appears Osimhen’s focus remains firmly on his current role at Galatasaray, quelling any immediate concerns regarding a mid-season exit.
