JUST IN MONEY OVER EVERYTHING: CHELSEA Fans in Shock As Victor Osimhen Takes His Final Decision on His Next Move
Nigeria manager Eric Chelle is of the opinion that Victor Osimhen will attract significant interest from top European clubs following his outstanding performance with Galatasaray. The 26-year-old striker played a crucial role in helping Galatasaray claim the Turkish title, scoring 37 goals in 41 games during his season-long loan in Istanbul.
As Osimhen’s loan spell comes to an end, he is set to return to parent club Napoli. However, with one year remaining on his contract, it is expected that he will leave the Italian club, as he is not part of coach Antonio Conte’s plans. This uncertainty surrounding his club future has led Chelle to leave Osimhen out of the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming international friendly against Russia.
Protecting Osimhen
Chelle’s decision to exclude Osimhen from the squad is driven by a desire to protect the player physically and mentally. With the transfer window open, Chelle believes that Osimhen’s focus may be divided, given the likelihood of interest from top European clubs. “Victor is, for me, the best striker in the world,” Chelle told BBC Sport Africa. “For him, it is difficult to come for this game because he played a season with a lot of pressure.”
Potential Suitor
Chelle speculates that clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, or Real Madrid may be interested in signing Osimhen. Given the player’s exceptional talent and goal-scoring ability, it is not surprising that top clubs would be keen on securing his services. Osimhen’s passion for scoring goals is well-documented, with the striker once saying he wants to score “even when he sleeps.”
Uncertain Future
As Osimhen navigates this critical phase in his career, his future remains uncertain. While Chelle’s decision to leave him out of the Super Eagles squad may be driven by a desire to protect him, it is clear that the player will be closely watched by top clubs in the coming weeks. With his talent and dedication, Osimhen is poised to make a significant impact in the world of football, regardless of where his career takes him next [1].
