Galatasaray is set to face Bodrum FK in the 13th week of the Trendyol Super Lig.

Galatasaray’s Nigerian star Victor Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan during the summer transfer window and garnered global attention, continues to draw the attention of many international teams with his strong performance.

Despite the player has repeatedly expressed his happiness at being with Galatasaray, his contract with Napoli includes a €75 million release clause.

Therefore, transfer rumours for the star player never stops.

Galatasaray fans express their frustration on social media after every transfer reports as star player performed strongly in his short time with Galatasaray.

In nine official appearances for Galatasaray, the player has delivered an impressive performance with 8 goals and 4 assists.

Also, Galatasaray’s other star strikes suffer from a serious injury which may last until the end of the season.

‘Osimhen will be number one choice’

Former Italian footballer and commentator Daniele Adani made striking comments about striker’s potential transfer.

Speaking to Italian media, Adani stated that if Juventus parts ways with Dusan Vlahovic, their number one target would be Osimhen.

“If Juventus decides to change their forward, I believe they will go for Osimhen,” said Adani. “Cristiano Giuntoli, currently at Juventus, was the one who brought him to Napoli in the first place.”

Adani emphasized the player’s proven ability to secure championships in Italy, adding, “If Vlahovic leaves, in my opinion, Osimhen would be the top choice.”
