“Osimhen going to Galatasaray was not a surprise because Turkey is a great place to play and live football.
"Sometimes you may need to make sacrifices when making decisions in football. Osimhen had a great season at Galatasaray. Ultimately, he is happy there.
Why shouldn't he stay with the team? I love Turkey. He loves it too. I don't know where he'll be next season. Wherever he decides to go, I wish him the best,” the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder concluded.
