Napoli attacker, Victor Osimhen, appears to have dropped a major hint about his preferred destination as the transfer standoff between his club and Galatasaray intensifies, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigerian striker took to social media yesterday to post a video of himself and his daughter singing “Cim Bom Bom,” which is the famous Galatasaray chant.
The post comes at a time when Napoli are reportedly blocking Osimhen’s proposed return to the Turkish giants, despite Galatasaray tabling a third bid that matches the striker’s €75 million release clause.
But Osimhen has remained firm in his stance—he does not want to play in the Saudi Pro League and has communicated his desire to return to Galatasaray.
“Victor Osimhen has made it very clear that going to Al Hilal is not possible. He only wants Galatasaray,” Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba shared on X (formerly Twitter). “They [Napoli] are frustrating the deal intentionally.”

The 26-year-old forward enjoyed a successful loan spell at Galatasaray and has already agreed to personal terms, including a €16 million-per-year salary.
However, Napoli's insistence on a different transfer destination has complicated matters, even after Galatasaray submitted a structured offer to pay the €75 million clause over three years.
While clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal have been loosely linked, no formal bids have been made by Premier League sides.
His latest video may not be an official statement, but it’s the clearest sign yet that his heart belongs to Galatasaray.
