Osimhen Disclosed Player Who Persuaded Him To Join Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen has revealed that he consulted with his former Napoli teammate, Dries Mertens, before making the decision to move to Galatasaray on loan. On Monday, Osimhen agreed to spend the 2024/25 season on loan at the Turkish Super Lig champions.
The Nigerian international arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday morning and was greeted with a warm reception at the airport. In high spirits upon his arrival, Osimhen enthusiastically engaged with fans and even led some chants in the arrivals area.
Mertens and Osimhen were previously teammates at Napoli before the Belgian’s transfer to Galatasaray. Now, the two will have the opportunity to play together again in Istanbul. “The atmosphere is incredible.
It’s wonderful to be here and reunite with Mertens. I spoke to him before coming here,” Osimhen shared in an interview with Corriere dello Sport.
