The 26-year-old enjoyed an exceptional 2024/25 season, contributing 37 goals and 7 assists across all competitions.

His key role helped Galatasaray clinch both the Turkish Super Lig and Turkish Cup titles, which saw him end the season as the Turkish Super Lig Player of the Season, top scorer and the winner of the league’s Goal of the Season award.

Speaking during an interview with Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze, Osimhen revealed he is in no hurry to make a decision about his feature.

“It’s always like this when the season ends and the summer transfer window begins.”

“You have a lot of clubs wanting your services, but right now, I’m focused on my holiday and enjoying myself. I’m also reflecting on my season at Galatasaray — watching my goals, learning from mistakes, and reviewing what I did well.”

The Napoli striker is currently on holiday in Nigeria and has reportedly turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal. Reports have it that Premier League sides Chelsea and Liverpool, as well as Italian giants Juventus are said to be monitoring his situation.

However, Galatasaray are hopeful of securing a permanent deal for the Nigerian forward.
