Nigeria striker, Victor Osimhen will meet with Galatasaray fans on Tuesday.

This was disclosed by football commentator, Hakan Gündoğar, who said Tuesday would be Osimhen’s arrival date in Istanbul.

“Osimhen will be in Istanbul on Tuesday. Clear information. He will meet with Galatasaray fans on Tuesday,” Gündoğar said (via habersarikirmizi).

“Galatasaray fans are expected to make one of the most historic welcomes for Victor Osimhen.”

Recall that Galatasaray and Napoli have both agreed on bank guarantees and payment plans for Osimhen‘s permanent transfer to the Turkish Super Lig champions this summer.

Galatasaray will pay the Serie A giants Osimhen’s €75m release clause in two instalments – €40m now and €35m within one year.

Osimhen, who spent the whole of last season at Galatasaray from Napoli had turned down huge money offers from Saudi Arabia club Al Hilal in order to move to Turkey.

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.”
