Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly declined multiple offers that could have seen him leave Galatasaray, where he is currently thriving on loan from Napoli.
Osimhen joined the Turkish Süper Lig giants on a loan deal that includes a clause allowing him to transfer to another club in January, provided an agreement is reached with Napoli. However, the Nigerian international has made it clear he intends to stay with Galatasaray.
Since arriving in Turkey, Osimhen has been in outstanding form, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in just 15 appearances. His performances have drawn attention from Premier League heavyweights Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United, the latter showing particular interest in securing a January deal to bolster their struggling campaign.
According to Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba, who is close to Osimhen’s camp, the striker has turned down all offers, including one from Manchester United, to remain with Galatasaray.

Reports indicate that the Nigerian star is determined to complete the season in Turkey, prioritizing silverware with Galatasaray over a midseason exit. With Mauro Icardi sidelined due to injury, Osimhen’s role as the team’s primary striker has become even more critical.
