Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles’ star striker currently on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray, has made headlines again—this time for his steadfast commitment to his current club amid swirling transfer rumors and a major shift in his management team.

The Agent Split and Its Aftermath

The Nigerian forward has officially parted ways with his agent, Roberto Calenda, after a series of disagreements stemming from failed transfer moves during the summer of 2024. Now represented solely by his legal counsel, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, Osimhen aims for greater control over his career decisions moving forward.

This shake-up comes as Napoli, his parent club, reportedly prepares for a potential January sale. However, Osimhen has made it clear: he has no intention of leaving Galatasaray until the end of the season. His decision ensures stability and allows him to focus on his outstanding performances in Turkey.

Manchester United Links Dismissed

Despite being linked with Premier League powerhouses Manchester United and Chelsea, Osimhen has not engaged in any talks with the Red Devils, as confirmed by Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba. Speculations about a potential Premier League move have been rife, but insiders close to the situation have downplayed these reports.

Interestingly, Manchester United are said to be considering alternatives within Serie A, including the possible return of their current striker, Rasmus Højlund. The Danish forward’s form this season has positioned him as a stronger trade option than other players reportedly included in the Osimhen rumor mill, such as Marcus Rashford or Joshua Zirkzee.

Dominating in Turkey

Osimhen’s focus has paid off on the pitch. The Nigerian has been in electrifying form for Galatasaray, tallying 12 goals and 5 assists in just 15 Süper Lig appearances. His contributions have solidified his position as a key figure in the Turkish club’s attack.

For now, Osimhen remains committed to seeing out his loan spell. Any discussions about his future transfers will now be handled directly by him and his legal team, ensuring a transparent and focused approach to the next steps in his career.
