Osimhen praises Galatasaray’s influence
Osimhen, despite questions raised about his move to Galatasaray, has spoken glowingly about his time at the club and the impact on his career.
“They saved me when I was at rock bottom. After I signed, even my daughter grew fonder of them than of me. I will be forever grateful to the club,” he said as quoted by Goal.
Osimhen joined the club on an initial loan spell in the summer of 2024 after Napoli frustrated his attempts to leave the club after four seasons.
The Neapolitans blocked his proposed move to Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, while he failed to reach an agreement with Chelsea.
Galatasaray signed him on loan that summer, taking advantage of the Turkish transfer window, which was open beyond the regular European market.

He has built a special connection with the fans, and as noted by Sports247, he admitted that the fans played a key role in his decision to join permanently.
He turned down Premier League moves and a lucrative deal worth €45 million per season salary at Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal in the summer of 2025.
