Okocha

Nigerian football legend Jay-Jay Okocha has offered guidance to Victor Osimhen as speculation intensifies over the forward’s next move following a record-breaking loan spell at Galatasaray, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Speaking to Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor via Haberler, the former Fenerbahçe playmaker urged Osimhen to consider the emotional and professional satisfaction he has found in Turkey, suggesting that staying at Galatasaray could be a wise decision, even if it means making personal sacrifices.

“Turkey is a great place to play and live football,” Okocha said.

“Sometimes, you may need to make sacrifices when making decisions in football. Osimhen had a great season at Galatasaray. Ultimately, he is happy there. Why shouldn’t he stay with the team? I love Turkey. He loves it too.”

Osimhen, who recently concluded his loan spell from Napoli, scored his 37th goal of the season in Galatasaray’s 2–0 win over İstanbul Başakşehir on Saturday, ending a sensational campaign that saw the Turkish giants claim a league and cup double.

Galatasaray’s head coach Okan Buruk acknowledged that the player’s future remains uncertain, but praised his contribution and expressed hope that he would remain with the club. Punch
