Nigerian international Victor Osimhen has revealed he will announce a decision on his football future by next week, following intense speculation about his next move after a stellar season with Turkish champions Galatasaray.
The 26-year-old striker, who spent the 2024/25 season on loan from Napoli, enjoyed a remarkable campaign with the Istanbul giants, netting an impressive 37 goals and providing seven assists across all competitions.
"I will make my final decision regarding my transfer within a week," Osimhen promised, according to Turkish news outlet Takvim. "It will be a very difficult decision for me."
The Super Eagles forward has reportedly already informed Galatasaray's management about his timeline for making a decision on his future.
Transfer Options on the Table
Galatasaray, impressed by Osimhen's contributions to their title-winning campaign under coach Okan Buruk, are reportedly prepared to trigger his €75 million release clause to secure his services permanently.
However, the Nigerian striker is also attracting significant interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, presenting him with a potentially lucrative alternative to remaining in Turkey.
Osimhen's parent club Napoli appears open to a permanent transfer, with recent reports suggesting they had proposed a deal to Manchester United involving Swedish striker Hojlund plus £33.6 million for the Nigerian's signature.
The striker's decision will be closely watched by football fans across Nigeria and beyond, as he continues to establish himself as one of Africa's premier football talents following his breakthrough at Lille and subsequent move to Napoli before his loan spell in Turkey.
With his proven goalscoring ability and peak age, Osimhen's next career move could be pivotal for both his personal ambitions and his status within Nigerian football history.
