Transfer: Osimhen denies rumours of pushing Osayi-Samuel towards Galatasaray

Victor Osimhen has dismissed reports suggesting he encouraged Super Eagles teammate Bright Osayi-Samuel to join Galatasaray.

Speaking on the matter, Osimhen clarified his position, emphasizing that the decision remains Osayi-Samuel’s alone.

“Osayi is my friend,” Osimhen remarked, addressing the speculation. “But I have no role in his transfer decisions. His career choices are entirely up to him and his management.”

Osayi-Samuel’s future has been the subject of intense speculation in both Turkey and Nigeria as his contract with Fenerbahçe nears its end.

The Nigerian defender is free to negotiate with other clubs in January, with Galatasaray reportedly among the frontrunners for his signature.

Despite remaining an integral part of Fenerbahçe’s squad, Osayi-Samuel has yet to agree to a contract extension, leaving room for uncertainty.
