Ex Trabzonspor star warns Galatasaray
Osimhen has become a fan favourite at the Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi because of his performances for the club and the energy with which he relates with the fans.
There's a famous saying that "never fall in love with a loan player", and in lieu of that, former Trabzonspor star Erman Özgür has warned the club to be careful of life after the Nigerian.
"From the moment you were able to get Osimhen, you became the favourite for the UEFA Cup. With or without Icardi, that doesn't change the fact,” he told Sky Sports Turkiye.
“After Osimhen leaves, Galatasaray fans will not be happy with another centre forward performance. I have never seen anything like it.
“The guy has no ego either. He flies through the game! He both enjoys it and is very ambitious. As long as nothing happens to him, Galatasaray's target should be the European Cup.”
According to Fanatik, the Turkish champions have expressed strong interest in signing the Nigerian and are moving closer to the financial package requested by Napoli.
