Former Super Eagles forward Victor Obinna Nsofor has advised Victor Osimhen to leave Galatasaray to help him achieve the status his talent deserves. Osimhen joined Galatasaray as a stopgap in the summer of 2024 after failing to secure a move away from Napoli. His performances, the fans' love, and the club's desire prompted all parties to pursue a permanent move, which was finalized for a record-breaking €75 million.
Interest from Top European Clubs
Despite just joining the club permanently, Osimhen continues to attract interest from top European clubs, many of whom are ready to invest big. Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Arsenal, and most recently Real Madrid, reportedly at Jose Mourinho’s request, are all interested. Osimhen has three years left on his Galatasaray contract, and any club willing to sign him would pay above €100 million and offer a huge salary package.
Nsofor's Advice to Osimhen
Former Inter Milan striker Obinna Nsofor has advised Osimhen to leave Galatasaray and join a club that can make him the best striker in the world. Nsofor claimed that Osimhen has achieved everything at Galatasaray and needs a club competing for the UEFA Champions League to take him to the top.
“Victor Osimhen has done enough at Galatasaray. If he truly wants to become the best striker in the world, then he must move to a club that can compete seriously for the UEFA Champions League,” he told Brila FM. “Right now, the only thing separating him from the very top is winning at the highest level in Europe.”
Respect for Galatasaray
He clarified that this statement is not meant to disrespect Galatasaray, which he said are a top club, but are not favorites for the UCL, and that is why Osimhen needs to move on. “Galatasaray is a big club, nobody can deny that, but when you talk about clubs expected to win the UEFA Champions League, they are not among the favorites,” he added. “Osimhen is already at the level where he should be competing with the very best strikers every single season.”
Osimhen's Achievements at Galatasaray
Osimhen finished the 2025/26 season with 22 goals and eight assists, taking his tally for the club to 59 goals and 16 assists in 74 matches, as noted by Transfermarkt. He has won two Turkish Super League titles and the Ziraat Turkish Cup in his two seasons. He has also won the Golden Boot, goal of the season, and the league's best player award.
Utaka's Previous Advice
Earlier, John Utaka advised Osimhen to join Real Madrid if the opportunity to move to the Spanish capital arises. The former Super Eagles striker cited the ability to win big trophies and financial growth as reasons to accept if truly Jose Mourinho is interested in him.
