Galatasaray Coach Discusses Osimhen's Transfer Interest

Ismael Garcia Gomez, the assistant head coach of Galatasaray, explained the reasons behind the increasing interest in Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen from several top European clubs, including Manchester United and Real Madrid. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan in 2024 with a permanent move last summer, has made a significant impact by scoring 59 goals in 74 appearances across competitions, helping the club secure two league titles and a Turkish Cup.

His future has become a major topic of discussion as the summer transfer window approaches, with a reported valuation of €150 million that could tempt Galatasaray to sell. Osimhen has expressed a desire to remain with the club, having developed a strong bond with the supporters during his two-year spell.

Gomez praised Osimhen's physical strength, ability to influence the game, and his status as one of the top 3 to 5 strikers in the world, indicating that his performance will continue to attract interest from elite clubs.
