The management of Galatasaray has urged Victor Osimhen and his representatives not to drag their offer to the player out too long and also make a decision regarding his future in the first week of July.

This was disclosed by respected football commentator Serkan Korkmaz.

Korkmaz said this while providing an update on Osimhen’s situation on the Kontraspor Youtube channel.

He said: “A piece of information that will please Galatasaray fans has arrived. Until a period that is not clear which end of the first week of July it refers to, Galatasaray management said to Osimhen and his representatives, ‘Let’s not drag this out too long. Let’s make a decision on this issue at the beginning of July.’

“Galatasaray did not give up but mentioned a date.”

Osimhen’s loan deal with Galatasaray expired some weeks ago.

The Nigeria international had joined the Yellow-Reds from Napoli last year.

The 26-year-old is currently on summer holiday and has been linked with a lot of clubs, including Al Hilal, Galatasaray, Chelsea, Liverpool Manchester United, Juventus and Arsenal.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
