Former Galatasaray star Albert Riera has revealed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has attracted significant interest from multiple clubs following his exceptional performance for the Turkish champions this season.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan, has been in remarkable form, netting an impressive 36 goals and providing eight assists across 40 appearances in all competitions.
"Every player who plays good and great football has many suitors," Riera stated in an interview with Radyospor, as reported by Habersarikirmizi. "He had a perfect season at Galatasaray. He helped the team a lot."
The Nigerian international has been linked with several top European clubs, including Premier League side Chelsea, as speculation about his future continues to mount ahead of the summer transfer window.
Despite the growing interest, Riera emphasized that the final decision regarding Osimhen's future lies solely with the player himself.
"The decision is entirely Osimhen's. If he decides to leave, I believe Galatasaray will understand," Riera added. "But if he stays, he'll make all Galatasaray fans very happy. He has been very successful."
Osimhen's prolific goal-scoring record has been instrumental in Galatasaray's successful campaign, helping the club secure the Turkish league title. His performances have not only elevated his status in Turkish football but have also reinforced his reputation as one of Africa's premier strikers.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on the Super Eagles star as he weighs his options between extending his stay at Galatasaray or pursuing a new challenge elsewhere in Europe.
