Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has expressed hope that Victor Osimhen will remain at the club despite growing speculation surrounding the striker’s future.
Osimhen has been one of the most talked-about players in the summer transfer market, with several top European clubs reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of the new season.
The Super Eagles forward has been linked with a number of football giants, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea.
However, Buruk has played down concerns over a possible exit, insisting that there has been no official development regarding the player’s future.
Speaking on the matter, the Galatasaray manager said the club has not received any concrete information suggesting that the Nigerian striker is preparing to leave.
He added that his expectation is for Osimhen to continue his journey with the Turkish champions and remain a key part of the squad.
The manager’s comments come amid reports claiming that Galatasaray recently turned down a significant offer from Atletico Madrid for the prolific forward.
Osimhen enjoyed an outstanding campaign with the Istanbul club last season, playing a major role as Galatasaray secured a second consecutive Turkish Super Lig title.
With the transfer window still open, attention will remain on the Nigerian star as fans wait to see where he will be playing next season.
