Osimhen cleared to face Fenerbahçe in title defining Istanbul derby

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been cleared to play in Sunday’s high stakes Istanbul derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe after concerns over his protective arm brace were dismissed by Turkish football authorities.​ Osimhen featured in Galatasaray’s midweek defeat to Gençlerbirliği wearing the brace, which he has been using for protection following a recent arm injury. Fenerbahçe subsequently lodged an official complaint with the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), arguing that the gear could pose a danger to opposing players.​ After reviewing the case, the federation rejected Fenerbahçe’s protest and confirmed that the brace had been medically approved. Officials said all necessary consultations were carried out before Osimhen was authorised to use the support in competitive matches.​ Fenerbahçe’s unease is understood to be tied to the importance of the derby in the tight Super Lig title race. Galatasaray currently hold a […]

Osimhen: Ex sporting director backs De Laurentiis over rejected €200m PSG offer

Former Napoli sporting director Mauro Meluso says club president Aurelio De Laurentiis was right to reject a reported €200 million joint offer from Paris Saint Germain for Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in 2023.​ Speaking on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, Meluso explained that De Laurentiis did not want to weaken the squad immediately after winning the Scudetto and felt that selling both star forwards at once would have sent the wrong message to the dressing room and fans.​ “Should Osimhen and Kvara have been sold together to PSG immediately after their third Scudetto? At that point, De Laurentiis didn’t want to weaken Napoli,” he said, insisting the decision was taken for the good of the club rather than purely financial reasons.​ Meluso admitted that, with hindsight, some might argue the sale should have gone through, but maintained that offloading both […]

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk says Victor Osimhen should be fit in time for this weekend’s high stakes Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce.​ Osimhen travelled with the squad for Saturday’s Super Lig match away to Genclerbirligi in Ankara but was left out of the matchday squad.

Yamal tells Barcelona: sign ‘red‑hot’ Osimhen

Barcelona teenage star Lamine Yamal has reportedly urged the club’s hierarchy to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the 18‑year‑old winger believes Osimhen would transform Barcelona’s attack next season and has personally backed the Nigerian’s arrival. Yamal is said to have told club chiefs that Osimhen’s movement, pace and physicality would stretch opposition defences and ease the pressure on him in the final third. He reportedly argued that the striker’s constant runs in behind would create more space and chances for Barcelona’s creative players. Barcelona are planning for life after veteran forward Robert Lewandowski, whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season. With Ferran Torres also linked with a possible exit, the Catalan giants are actively assessing options to lead their frontline. Osimhen, 27, has been […]

Manchester United Legend Nicky Butt Wants Osimhen At Old Trafford

Manchester United legend Nicky Butt has called on the club’s hierarchy to make a summer move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Butt believes the Galatasaray forward is the kind of powerful, complete number nine United need to lead the line at Old Trafford. Speaking in recent interviews, the former midfielder argued that while current striker Benjamin Sesko has potential, he is not yet ready to carry the team’s attack on his own. He described Osimhen as quick, strong and aggressive, with the ability to run in behind, hold up play and score different types of goals, including headers. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray from Napoli in a record deal last summer, has continued his prolific form in Turkey with 19 goals in 29 appearances this season. Butt said players from the Turkish Super Lig are generally “gettable” in the transfer market […]
