Six days prior, Osimhen shared a photo of himself wearing his new No. 45 jersey with his daughter at Rams Park Arena—the home ground of the Turkish powerhouses—and an X user named Pink Tony requested that he update his bio.
The Eagles striker’s claim that he couldn’t alter his bio since he was still bound to Napoli by contract was disputed by a number of X users.
The former Lille player updated his bio, enthusiastically decorating his profiles with the Turkish giants’ colors and removing any mention of Napoli.
With a new display photo of a player with their face cropped out wearing a Galatasaray jersey, Osimhen’s amended bio now states, “Professional football player for Galatasaray and Super Eagles of Nigeria.”
Symbolizing a new phase in his career, his banner image shows him carrying his daughter while wearing a number 45 shirt on the back.
Many X users are discussing Osimhen’s recent move because they want to see him play for Galatasaray soon.
In the last hours of the transfer window, the former Sporting Charleroi player joined the Turkish drama on loan from Napoli, bringing an end to his lengthy summer transfer saga.
His move to Napoli and subsequent exit from the country were among the most well reported events of the season; he had signed a new deal in December 2023 but had nonetheless asked to leave.
Despite scoring 26 goals to help Napoli win their first Scudetto in over thirty years two seasons prior and earning the Serie A top scorer award, Osimhen’s relationship with some club supporters soured during the previous campaign, leading to the 25-year-old’s departure from Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
After the Nigerian asked to leave the team and was excluded from their preseason and first three Serie A games of the following season, things between the two parties quickly soured. New manager Antonio Conte reiterated that the reigning African Player of the Year was not part of their plans.
On September 15, Osimhen is anticipated to make his Galatasaray debut against Rizespor in a Turkish Super Lig encounter.
