Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has sparked speculation about his future amid reported transfer talks with Premier League giants Manchester United, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigeria international has been at the center of a transfer move away from the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium permanently at the end of the season.
Despite strong interest from Europe and beyond, Osimhen appears content with life at Galatasaray, which suggests that the Super Eagles talisman may not be eager to move just yet.
“My family and I are very happy here. Especially my daughter, even though she is 1.5 years old, knows the Galatasaray anthems and sings them. I am very happy to be on duty at Galatasaray, the biggest team in Türkiye,” Osimhen said, as cited by Le Marca Sports.
The 26-year-old’s comments come amid claims that Manchester United have initiated discussions over a possible summer move for the Nigerian forward.
However, his emotional connection to Galatasaray and the fans could complicate any transfer plans, despite nearing the end of his season-long loan in Istanbul.
