Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk is not entertaining the transfer noise around Victor Osimhen. Speaking directly on the speculation linking the Nigerian striker to clubs across Europe, Buruk was clear: "No such issue has come to us. There is nothing at the moment. Hopefully, he will continue his path at Galatasaray." For a coach who has called Osimhen a "dream" signing, the message is simple. He is not going anywhere.
The numbers back up why Galatasaray are holding firm. Since joining permanently from SSC Napoli in a record 75 million euro deal, Osimhen has scored 59 goals in 70 appearances across all competitions as of June 2026. He hit the 50-goal milestone in just 59 matches, the fastest any player has done it in the club's history.
Last season was something else entirely. In the 2024/25 campaign, Osimhen scored 37 goals in 41 matches and helped Galatasaray lift the Turkish league title. This season he already has 22 goals across all competitions, including 7 in the UEFA Champions League.
Buruk points to more than just the goal tally. He credits Osimhen's leadership, work rate, and overall influence as central to the club's recent success. With a long-term contract in place, Galatasaray hold a strong hand in any transfer conversation. Whether Europe's top clubs come calling this summer is the question worth watching.
