Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has stated that the club will respect whatever decision star striker Victor Osimhen makes regarding his future.

the Nigerian who enjoyed a sensational season on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, scored an impressive 36 goals and provided eight assists, leading the Turkish giants to two domestic titles. 

With his loan spell almost concluded, the Nigerian international is expected to return to his parent club, where Napoli appears poised to sell to the highest bidder.

Despite the strong desire from Buruk, Galatasaray fans, and club management to retain the 26-year-old permanently, with reports suggesting the club is willing to meet Napoli’s hefty buyout clause, the striker is reportedly eyeing a move elsewhere. 

Sources close to the player indicate he is leaning toward a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia, especially as no top European clubs have yet made a concrete move for his signature. A move to the Premier League also remains on his radar.

When asked about Osimhen’s future in a recent interview, Buruk emphasized the club’s support for the player’s decision:

“Osimhen will decide now. He is very happy here, he’s living the best days of his life. He will decide on his future, and we need to respect every decision he makes. He made an incredible contribution here. But we are very hopeful, we continue to hope for him to stay with us.”
