Galatasaray coach Orkan Buruk has stated that Victor Osimhen has informed the club that he will end the season with them, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan last summer after he failed to get a move to a big club and he was alienated from Napoli.
However, due to his quality, it has always been an open secret that he will leave Galatasaray eventually at the end of the season or in the summer.
English Premier League giants Manchester United have been linked with Osimhen in the past two years. But since Ruben Amorim took over at the club last month, the talks about a possible January transfer have intensified.
Manchester United are desperate to make some changes to the team, and a move for Osimhen has seemed to be in the works.
However, it seems the Red Devils will have to wait until the summer before making thier move. This is as Galatasaray boss Buruk has revealed that Osimhen has promised to stay with them till the end of the campaign.

Osimhen has registered 12 goals and five assists in 14 appearance for Galatasaray this season, and they would be eager to keep him as Mauro Icardi is out for the rest of the campaign.
If Manchester United fail to sign Osimhen now, he could get more suitors by next summer if he continues with his current form.
