Galatasaray, Osimhen returns: "This is my home, for love and family" | OneFootball

The Nigerian striker has been officially presented for the second time by the Turkish club: the loan has been resolved, and Galatasaray has paid the clause to Napoli to keep him permanently

Galatasaray, Osimhen says yes (again): “This is my home. A choice of love, for the fans and for my daughter”

Victor Osimhen is once again a Galatasaray player, this time on a permanent basis. After a season as a protagonist on loan, with 37 goals in 41 appearances, the Nigerian striker was warmly welcomed back by the public at the Istanbul stadium at the end of the friendly match against Lazio (2-2). The management of the Turkish club has in fact decided to pay the entire amount of the termination clause, securing the center-forward's contract.

A return strongly desired by both parties, as testified by the emotional words released by Osimhen during the official presentation.

Osimhen's statements: “Here I feel at home, my daughter is my inspiration” “I feel great. Galatasaray is my home. Coming back here is something special for me, for my family, and especially for my daughter, who loves the fans' songs. We dance together with the Cimbom music. I will work until the last drop of sweat to honor this jersey. I never had any doubts: coming back was the right choice. The main reasons? The love of the fans and my daughter. It's thanks to her that I'm back here today.”

Words that testify to a deep bond not only with the club but with the entire environment, capable of entering the most intimate sphere of the player's life. Osimhen, also followed by Juventus in previous market sessions, has instead chosen continuity and emotional involvement, rejecting Italian temptations.

A symbolic operation: trust and ambition Galatasaray, with this operation, sends a strong signal: aiming high with a team built around one of the most prolific bombers in the European landscape. The decision to invest in the total redemption of the striker translates not only into a significant economic commitment but also into the will to consolidate a technical and charismatic leadership within the locker room.

With Osimhen at the center of the project and a now-rooted bond with the fans, the Istanbul club looks at the new season with ambition.
