Turkish expert dismisses Osimhen Icardi rivalry talk

Turkish football analyst Bulent Timurlenk has played down claims of a growing rivalry between Galatasaray strikers Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi. He said the Nigerian and Argentine forwards have shown respect for each other and work as a united strike force.​ Speculation about tension between the pair dates back to summer 2024, when Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan and initially formed a partnership with Icardi before the Argentine suffered an ACL injury. Icardi later returned to score four goals in seven league games, while Osimhen finished last season with 26 goals in 30 appearances.​ This season, Icardi has scored 10 goals in 20 league matches and Osimhen has nine in 15, helping Galatasaray push for another Super Lig title.

UCL: Osimhen to Miss Gala’s UCL Tie Against Saint-Gilloise

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be absent for Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League fixture against Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise due to a minor hamstring tear picked up in international duty. Osimhen was substituted off at halftime during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier with DR Congo and returned to his club for immediate treatment. Initial scans confirm a minor injury expected to sideline him for several days. Osimhen, top scorer in the competition with six goals, will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine his availability for upcoming fixtures, including the crucial Turkish league derby with Fenerbahce. He was seen supporting Galatasaray from the stands and exiting with teammate Henry Onyekuru. His absence opens the opportunity for rivals Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé, each only one goal behind, to overtake him in the Champions League scoring charts.
