Galatasaray's Osimhen misses Turkish Cup debut against Boluspor

Posted : 06 February 2025

Galatasaray has revealed its squad for the upcoming Ziraat Turkish Cup fixture against Boluspor, and notable in his absence is Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen. 


Despite being in exceptional form, the Super Eagles striker will not make his Turkish Cup debut as he is not part of the squad. Osimhen has made a significant impact at Galatasaray since his arrival, contributing 22 goal involvements in 22 matches, including 17 goals and five assists.


The reasons behind the decision to exclude Osimhen from the lineup remain unclear. However, Galatasaray will have to find a way to manage without their top scorer, who has played a key role in their recent successes.


Galatasaray's roster for the Boluspor game includes several of their star players, but Osimhen is one of seven players missing from the squad. His absence marks a considerable gap for the Yellow and Reds, who have relied heavily on his contributions.


Osimhen has been crucial to Galatasaray's impressive performance this season, helping them maintain a six-point lead over Fenerbahçe in the Süper Lig standings. His form has caught the attention of major European clubs, with Chelsea and Juventus reportedly showing interest in acquiring him.


His future at Galatasaray remains uncertain, especially with Napoli, his parent club, valuing him at 75 million euros. This price might be beyond Galatasaray's financial reach, potentially hindering their hopes of securing a permanent deal.


Although financial constraints may limit Galatasaray's options, the decision to leave Osimhen out of the Turkish Cup squad might be a tactical move, as the club focuses on their objectives in the Süper Lig and UEFA Europa League.
