Galatasaray fans continue to employ incredible methods to sway Victor Osimhen's emotions.

Galatasaray fans have taken their plea to Victor Osimhen a step further, as an ad was placed on a billboard in Times Square, New York, begging the Nigerian to stay at the club. 

The 26-year-old has a major career decision to make this summer, as his Galatasaray spell is coming to an end. He can decide to sign for the Cim-Bom permanently—and the club’s hierarchy assures they can afford the move—accept the big money offer from Saudi Arabia, or hold out for a dream move to a top European club.

Osimhen has fallen in love with the club, and they have fallen in love with him; hence, he rejected Manchester United’s approach in January, insisting on seeing out his loan contract.

However, it’s one thing to stay for the agreed-upon season-long duration; it’s another to commit his future to the club, given his incredible ambitions and Galatasaray’s limitations.

Hence, fans of the club are leveraging the player’s emotions with grand gesture after gesture. The latest is the grandest yet, as Forca Cimbom reported that a Galatasaray fan took out an ad on an electronic billboard in Times Square with Osimhen’s face plastered over it and texts that read, “Stay with us.”

The ad was taken days after Galatasaray fans intensified their campaign to keep him at the club, sending a heartfelt message during their historic title-clinching victory over Kayserispor.

“Stay with us Osi! Not because you have to but because you want to,” the banner from Galatasaray supporters stated. It came just days after they launched the viral #StayWithUsOsimhen campaign on social media.
