Osimhen expresses happiness at Galatasaray: "I play with my heart"

Victor Osimhen reaffirms his commitment to Galatasaray and expresses all his gratitude for the Turkish club. In an interview with Fanatik, the Nigerian striker highlighted the deep bond he created with the Istanbul environment: "Between me and Galatasaray there is a mutual respect. An affection that is not only shown to me, but also to my family, friends and my entire circle. Every day, I wake up and thank God, going to training with a smile on my face. When I wear the Galatasaray shirt, I always play with my heart and soul. I'm happy here; so far everything is going well In the best way, my family is fine and so am I."

This leaves behind the turmoil caused by the statements made by his coach, Chelle, who indicated a few weeks ago that Osimhen's change of club was imminent: "Osimhen has a situation of changing clubs, so I preferred him to stay at home (at his club). Because if you play and you're not 100% ready, it's not good." The attacker continued, highlighting the serenity recovered after the last market sessions, without, however, committing too much about his long-term future. "I'm at a club where I feel deeply loved – added the former Napoli goalscorer –. I love this city, this club and all the people who surround me day after day. Let's see what will happen in the future, but at the moment my only reality is happiness at Galatasaray, and I continue to follow my path here."
