Transfer: Disregard Chelle’s comments about me leaving Galatasaray – Osimhen
Osimhen Addresses Transfer Speculation
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has called on fans to dismiss rumors regarding his future with the club. His appeal follows comments from Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle, who suggested that Osimhen could be nearing a transfer away from the Turkish Super Lig champions this summer.
Chelle’s remarks fueled speculation about Osimhen’s next destination while explaining the player’s absence from Nigeria’s upcoming international friendlies against Poland and Portugal in June.
“We miss two players because Victor Osimhen may be about to change clubs,” Chelle stated.
In response, Osimhen took to Instagram to clarify the situation. He noted that he had spoken directly with Chelle to address the comments.
“I just got off the phone with Coach Eric Chelle regarding the comments about me in his recent interview,” Osimhen wrote.
“Unfortunately, his words have been taken out of context and blown out of proportion. He has great respect for Galatasaray, follows most of our games, and never intended to create any controversy. I appreciate the conversation, the opportunity to always represent my country, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. He is a great coach whom I respect a lot, and I kindly ask everyone to disregard the speculation surrounding this matter.”
