Super Eagles legend Odion Ighalo has weighed in on Victor Osimhen's future amid rumours of an exit from Galatasaray.
Victor Osimhen was a primary target for Al-Hilal before his permanent move to Istanbul last summer.
The Saudi club reportedly offered a staggering €40 million per season and was prepared to trigger his €75 million release clause, but Osimhen chose to remain in Europe for "sporting reasons."
)
Ighalo, who netted 43 goals for Al-Hilal and won a league title there, admitted to Winwin that while he respects the decision, his heart was with his former club: "Well, these are not mistakes, because as players we have to make our own decisions.

"Frightening" — Juventus legend Del Piero admits Osimhen terrifies defenders
Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero has praised Victor Osimhen following the striker's masterclass in Galatasaray’s 5-2 demolition of the Italian giants.
Ighalo calls on Osimhen to make Saudi move
"For me, I wished he had gone to Al-Hilal, but Galatasaray is a big club, the biggest in Turkey, and they participate in the Champions League and perform well. And most importantly, he is performing well there with Galatasaray."
)
Osimhen’s decision has certainly been vindicated on the pitch. After leading the "Lions" to a domestic double during his initial loan spell, he signed a permanent four-year deal through 2029.
The 27-year-old has already racked up 15 goals and 5 assists in 22 appearances this season, most recently providing two vital assists in Galatasaray’s 5–2 thrashing of Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Despite the ongoing links to clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Ighalo remains hopeful that a move to Riyadh is simply delayed rather than cancelled.
"For me, and out of love for Al-Hilal as it is one of the teams I played for in Saudi Arabia, I wished that Osimhen would join them.
)
"Perhaps not now, but after the end of his experience with Galatasaray, he can still move to Al-Hilal later."
Meanwhile, Osimhen remains linked to some of Europe's top clubs, with the likes of Chelsea, Juventus, and even Barcelona linked with a move for the Nigerian.
Galatasaray are desperate to keep Osimhen, but it remains to be seen how far they will go to fend off suitors.
