Victor Osimhen Happy at Galatasaray
Buruk told 12punto on the Ersin Düzen ile Futbolün 100 program that Osimhen is happy at Galatasaray.
The Nigerian international expressed his desire to stay with the Turkish giants, stating:
‘I will continue here; that is my thought,’ Osimhen said. He is very happy here. “It could have been a different situation if he was unhappy.”
Osimhen’s contract does contain a January exit clause, but Buruk stressed that the player’s happiness and commitment are important.
Osimhen, who has six goal involvements in his first four games, is keen to stay and give more as he approaches full fitness.
