Reports linking Galatasaray to a permanent move for Napoli loanee Victor Osimhen have been dismissed as “fake news.”
According to TEAMtalk, there’s no chance of the Turkish club securing the Super Eagles striker on a permanent transfer, suggesting that Osimhen will likely look elsewhere once his loan ends.
While there have been rumours about the 25-year-old leaving RAMS Park in January, Osimhen has reassured fans he intends to complete his loan spell.

Victor Osimhen’s potential Chelsea move
The 25-year-old striker is reportedly interested in a move to the Premier League, which complicates any potential plans Galatasaray might have had to buy him outright.
Chelsea have shown interest in the Nigerian, though it’s unclear if they’ll pursue him if Nicolas Jackson continues to perform well.
Jackson, who faced criticism last season, appears rejuvenated this year, scoring six goals and providing three assists in 10 matches.
Even if Chelsea’s interest wanes, Osimhen is likely to have plenty of suitors next summer. He has adjusted well at Galatasaray, contributing a goal or assist in every game, and is a key player in Okan Buruk’s lineup.
