Turkish Journalist in Awe of Victor Osimhen‘s ‘Madness,’ Galatasaray Fans Demand Permanent Deal.
Turkish football journalist Muhammet Duman has heaped praise on Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, describing his impact as something he has “never seen in two decades” of covering Galatasaray. The 25-year-old striker delivered a stellar performance in Galatasaray’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Samsunspor in the Turkish Super Lig, leaving fans and pundits alike in awe.
Osimhen’s Spectacular Form Shakes Turkish Football
Victor Osimhen’s arrival in the Turkish Super Lig has been nothing short of sensational. Since joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan following a fallout with Napoli, the Nigerian international has netted an impressive eight goals in just nine appearances. His recent display against Samsunspor showcased his remarkable heading ability, scoring twice to help his team secure a narrow 3-2 win.
Osimhen opened the scoring with a powerful header in the third minute, igniting a wave of excitement among the home supporters at RAMS Park. Although Samsunspor equalized in the 50th minute, Osimhen restored Galatasaray’s lead just five minutes later with another precise header. Michy Batshuayi extended the advantage in the 85th minute, but the visitors clawed one back through a stoppage-time penalty, ending the match at 3-2.
“I Have Never Seen Such Madness”: Duman Praises Osimhen
Following the game, Hurriyet Newspaper’s Muhammet Duman expressed his amazement at Osimhen’s impact, noting that Galatasaray fans are fervently campaigning for a permanent transfer.
Duman told Legit.ng, “Galatasaray fans are going crazy for Victor Osimhen. Every day, they flood social media with messages, urging the club to secure him on a permanent basis. I have followed Galatasaray for 20 years, but I have never witnessed this kind of madness before.”
He further added that the overwhelming support from fans has been a driving force for Osimhen. “This love gives Osimhen extra strength. He is always aware of the admiration from Galatasaray supporters, which fuels his performances,” Duman remarked.
Galatasaray Fans Demand Permanent Move for Osimhen
Osimhen’s phenomenal form has sparked a wave of support from Galatasaray fans, who are pushing the club to finalize a permanent deal for the striker. The Nigerian star has reportedly expressed his willingness to stay at Galatasaray, provided his transfer fee and salary demands are met.
According to reports from Forza Cimbom, Osimhen is seeking a salary package worth around €20 million. While Galatasaray’s management is eager to retain him, meeting his financial demands could prove challenging given the club’s current financial constraints.
Osimhen’s Future in the Balance
Victor Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray remains uncertain as the club faces a financial hurdle in meeting the striker’s salary expectations and transfer fee. However, the overwhelming fan support and the player’s own willingness to continue could play a crucial role in the negotiations.
The Nigerian international’s impact has clearly disrupted the status quo in Turkish football, leaving a lasting impression on fans and pundits alike. Whether Galatasaray can secure his services permanently remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Osimhen’s presence in the Turkish Super Lig has already made waves, and the fans are not ready to let him go.
