Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba has revealed Victor Osimhen’s decision to leave Galatasaray in January.

The 26-year-old has drawn serious interest from Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain following the impressive season he is having at Galatasaray.

The Super Eagles star has hit the ground running in the Turkish League, scoring nine goals and providing three assists this season.

Despite reports that he was linked to top European clubs during the January transfer window, Osimhen is expected to see out his loan deal with Galatasaray.

Osimhen staying put

Laba, who is close to Osimhen, has revealed that the striker will reject every transfer offer in January.

He revealed on his X account, "To make this clear as ABC: Victor Osimhen rejected every offer in January 2025 to stay back at Galatasaray for the full season.

"Yes there’s Legit concrete interest but the plan has always been to stay at Galatasaray for the full season and win trophies with the team."

The likes of Chelsea and Arsenal also all declared interest in signing the Nigerian international in the January transfer window.

Osimhen has committed to the Turkish Super Lig champions, but a three-way discussion between an interested club, Galatasaray, and Napoli would be necessary in a possible move next month.
