As Osimhen’s star continues to rise, speculation over his future intensifies, but Galatasaray fans remain hopeful their talisman will stay to build on this historic campaign.
Victor Osimhen’s 2024–25 season will go down as one of the most prolific and memorable in Turkish football history — a year of goals, glory, and greatness.
