‘Let's be a family’ - Turkish journalist reveals Osimhen’s response after permanent move request from Galatasaray coach
Osimhen’s transfer move this season has been a major talking point as top clubs are looking to sign the Super Eagles star.
The Super Eagles striker's impressive performance since his move on loan from Napoli to Galatasaray has caught the eye of the likes of Arsenal, PSG and Chelsea.
Galatasaray are also looking to make his loan deal permanent in the summer and have been in contact with Napoli representatives
Aybaba, who recently spoke with Osimhen, told Telegol via haber zari kirmizi that the Nigerian player has rejected a move to Beşiktaş and his reaction to Buruk's offer to join the team permanently
He said, "I spoke to Victor Osimhen himself. I chatted through his translator. I said, 'Will you come to Beşiktaş?' 'I won't.' He loves Galatasaray very much.
"Okan Buruk went to Italy with Galatasaray executives at the beginning of the season to buy Osimhen.
"Now he is trying to convince him to stay at Galatasaray. He said to Osimhen, 'Stay here, let's be a family. After Mauro Icardi gets better, you will play with him, you will achieve great success.'
"Osimhen responded by saying, 'I came here on loan, but there is a great friendship. It feels like I have been in Istanbul for 10 years.'"
The striker has reaffirmed his allegiance to Galatasaray in the face of January rumours that he would leave.
He is probably going to start against Kayserispor after entering as a substitute in Galatasaray's 4-3 victory against Trabzonspor at RAMS Park last week.
