Napoli-owned Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed his commitment to Galatasaray, ending speculation about his potential transfer in January 2025, according to Soccernet. Despite strong interest from four top European clubs willing to trigger his £75 million release clause, Osimhen has confirmed he will remain with the Turkish giants until the end of the season.

Osimhen’s decision comes after a stellar performance against Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League, where he scored a brace. The 25-year-old Nigerian attacker has been in impressive form since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, following a transfer tussle between his representatives and the Serie A club.

“They are talking about January. I am here until the end of the season. I don’t know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about after that… We will talk when they tell me. This is a club I really like,” Osimhen stated, reaffirming his commitment to Galatasaray.

Football insider Buchi Lamba revealed that four clubs had approached Napoli with offers for Osimhen, willing to pay the new release clause. However, Osimhen’s firm stance has put these clubs on hold, forcing them to wait until the summer transfer window to revive their interest.

Osimhen’s commitment to Galatasaray is a significant boost to the Turkish giants’ ambitions in the Turkish league and Europa League. The Nigerian striker’s presence has been instrumental in the team’s success, and his decision to stay will likely energize the squad.

Napoli’s negotiating position may benefit from Osimhen’s commitment, potentially allowing them to command a higher transfer fee. However, Galatasaray’s ambition to sign Osimhen permanently may also be boosted by his commitment to the club.

As the January transfer window approaches, Osimhen’s confirmation has brought clarity to his immediate future. The four interested clubs will now need to wait until the summer to potentially secure his services.

With Osimhen’s focus solely on Galatasaray until the end of the season, the Turkish giants can capitalize on his talent and momentum. As the summer transfer window looms, Osimhen’s long-term future remains uncertain, but for now, he remains committed to Galatasaray
