I’m not his manager - Super Eagles legend Jay Jay Okocha shuts down question on Osimhen’s next club

During a recent event in Nigeria organised by the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich, Nigerian football legend Jay-Jay Okocha was asked about the future of Victor Osimhen, whose next move remains one of the hottest topics in football circles.

Osimhen, 26, enjoyed a brilliant loan spell at Galatasaray after his time at Napoli, and speculation about his next club continues to grow.

In an honest video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Okocha gave a thoughtful response that balanced respect for the striker’s independence with the hopes of Nigerian fans.

Okocha began by acknowledging that the ultimate decision lies with Osimhen himself. “I mean the decision will be his, of course,” he said.

“We as his fans, we love to have the opportunity to be watching him week in, week out. So, wherever he decides to go, we’ll still love him. But we would love to be seeing him week in, week out.”

But when pressed to name a preferred club for Osimhen’s next chapter after Napoli and Galatasaray, Okocha kept his answer diplomatic and lighthearted.

“I cannot (mention a club), I am sorry. I mean, I’m not his manager,” he added with a smile.

Okocha’s response reflects the respect he holds for Osimhen’s autonomy in making career decisions, while also expressing the collective desire of Nigerian fans to continue witnessing his talent regularly.

As a former Super Eagles star and playmaker, who dazzled fans worldwide, Okocha’s words carry weight among football enthusiasts.

With transfer rumours swirling, the football world eagerly awaits Osimhen’s next move, even as he looks set to remain with Super Lig giants Galatasaray.

For now, Okocha’s message is clear: the decision is Osimhen’s to make, and wherever he goes, he will have the unwavering support of his fans and countrymen.
