Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, has addressed speculations surrounding a potential move to Serie A side, Juventus.
Following a spectacular goal-scoring form for Galatasaray during his loan spell from Napoli, Osimhen has attracted the attention of top European clubs and is expected to make a transfer decision by the end of the season.
According to reports, Osimhen’s heroics in Turkey have been noticed by Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus, who are monitoring his progress.
In a chat with Tuttomercatoweb on Friday, Osimhen stated that while such rumours abound, he chooses to live in the moment.
“There are always rumours about me, but I live in the moment. Now I’m enjoying all this. The fans have supported me in an incredible way.
“Not only me, but also my teammates and my family. The best decision for everyone will be made. But Galatasaray will always remain in my heart,” he said.
Meanwhile, Osimhen scored his 17th goal of 2025, moving the Nigerian striker level with Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski and Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres in joint-third position among Europe’s top marksmen this calendar year.
The Galatasaray forward found the net against Samsunspor on Friday, continuing his impressive scoring run that now sees him ahead of Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane (14 goals) and Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy (13 goals).
Only PSG’s Ousmane Dembele (24 goals) and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe (19 goals) have scored more goals than the Nigerian striker in 2025.
Osimhen’s latest goal came in Galatasaray’s crucial clash against Samsunspor at the Samsun 19 Mayis Stadium, where Okan Buruk’s men were looking to maintain their three-point lead at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table following their recent derby defeat to Besiktas.
