Galatasaray’s technical director, Okan Buruk, has confirmed that there is a clause in Victor Osimhen’s loan transfer agreement from Napoli that would allow the Nigerian striker to leave the Turkish champions during the January transfer window. However, Buruk emphasized that Osimhen is committed to staying at Galatasaray until the end of the season.

In an interview on Sunday, Buruk explained that despite the existence of the clause, Osimhen has expressed his intention to remain with the club. “He said he will stay here,” Buruk shared. “There is a clause about transfers in January, but the important thing is the player. The player decides. Osimhen has already said he will stay.”

The Nigerian forward, who joined Galatasaray on the final day of the summer transfer window, has quickly become a key figure for the club, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in nine appearances across all competitions. Buruk reflected on the process that led to Osimhen’s transfer, recalling initial discussions that seemed less promising but ultimately led to a successful deal after further talks with the club’s transfer committee and president.

Despite rumors linking Osimhen to several major clubs, including Premier League giants and Chelsea, his focus remains on his current club, with no immediate plans for a mid-season transfer. The 25-year-old striker’s commitment to staying with Galatasaray underscores his desire to finish the season with the Turkish side before considering any future moves.
