Report: Osimhen to leave Galatasaray this month

Osimhen will reportedly leave Galatasaray this January transfer window.

Contrary to the player's own declaration, reports from Turkey today claim that Victor Osimhen is packing his bags, as he is set to leave Galatasaray this transfer window. 

The recently-turned 26-year-old joined the Cim-Bom on a season-long loan in the summer, but it has been reported that a break clause was included in the deal that would allow him to leave in January. 

According to Fanatik, this clause is set to be implemented, as Osimhen is set to join a new club this winter. 

The details 

Osimhen is not lacking suitors, at least according to Napoli, who claim there are a number of clubs willing to trigger the Nigerian's €75 million release clause, and they planned their transfer window as such, making a list of three players they wish to sign with the money.

However, the former Lille man has always maintained his desire to fulfil the full length of his Galatasaray contract. As Pulse Sports reported, he reiterated this stance a few days ago when he contacted the Partenopei not to accept any bids for him this January, as he wanted to finish the season in Turkey. 

A shocking report surfaced today from Turkey, as, according to the aforementioned Fanatik, the Nigerian will renege on his earlier stance and leave the club this month. His destination remains unspecified, but there have been reports of strong interest from the Premier League
