Victor Osimhen says goodbye? Galatasaray striker issues statement as Turkish club beg for striker to stay amid Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal interest

Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray last summer on loan from Napoli, has enjoyed a stellar campaign in Turkey as he has scored 29 goals across all competitions, including 21 in the Turkish Super Lig. The Nigerian striker's terrific form has attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Premier League giants Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Amid speculation over his next club, the 26-year-old striker shared an update on his future as he told reporters, "We will make a decision soon. It will be decided what is best for you. Galatasaray will always be in my heart... Today was an unforgettable day, with our 25th title and our fifth star."

While many considered Osimhen's words as his final goodbye to the Turkish giants, club vice president İbrahim Hatipoplu told the AS: "His words don't mean he's leaving. He said that even if he left in the worst-case scenario, Galatasaray would always be in his heart. But he didn't say he's leaving. We want him to stay with us."

The forward has also been linked with a move to Barcelona and Juventus in the summer, although the player has reportedly rejected an offer from the Bianconeri as he wants a switch to the English top-flight.
