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

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.

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.
