Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker, remains a hot topic following his inability to secure a move from Napoli during the summer 2024 transfer window.
Although Osimhen stayed at Napoli's Diego Maradona Stadium, speculation persists about a possible temporary departure for the Nigerian forward.
Recent rumors suggest that Osimhen might be heading for a four-month loan move to Galatasaray, particularly after being left out of Antonio Conte’s first-team plans.
The situation has drawn a strong reaction from Italian media, recalling a statement made by Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, during the summer transfer period.
Calenda had firmly rejected any rumors of an easy transfer, emphasizing that Osimhen, who was Napoli’s top scorer during their historic third Scudetto win, deserved more respect.
In response to the speculation, Italian outlets like Tutto Napoli and iL Napolista have highlighted the irony of the situation, with Tuttom Napoli stating, “Osimhen has become what he didn’t want to become: a package to be sent,” and iL Napolista noting, “Osimhen ended up in Turkey, shipped just like a package.”
The relationship between Osimhen and Napoli has been strained, particularly after a recent controversy involving a racist video that went viral. This has left Osimhen’s future uncertain, with current discussions focusing on a potential four-month loan to Galatasaray, with the option for extension if agreed upon by both sides.
