Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was left touched by an emotional gesture from Galatasaray fans following the club\u2019s Super Lig title triumph at the Rams Park, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Yellow-Reds secured the 2024\u201325 Turkish Super Lig title with a dominant 3-0 victory against Kayserispor, and, once again, the Nigerian international played a key role\u2014opening the scoring in the 26th minute with a powerful header from Gabriel Sara\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n

It was Osimhen\u2019s 36th goal in 40 appearances this season, which further triggered his status as one of Galatasaray\u2019s most influential players.<\/p>\n

Beyond his contributions on the pitch, Osimhen has built a strong bond with the Galatasaray faithful, who are doing everything in their power to convince the forward to extend his stay in Istanbul.<\/p>\n

As part of the growing #StayWithUsOsimhen campaign,<\/a> Galatasaray fans unveiled a banner after the title win that read:<\/p>\n

The heartfelt message captured the fans\u2019 admiration for the 26-year-old, who has also helped the team lift the Turkish Cup this season and led them through a solid Europa League run, where he scored six goals in seven matches.<\/p>\n

However, as Soccernet.ng earlier reported<\/a>, Osimhen\u2019s current deal does not include a buyout clause, meaning he is expected to return to his parent club Napoli before any permanent move can be negotiated.<\/p>\n

While the forward\u2019s future remains uncertain, the affection and support from Galatasaray fans could yet play a key role in his next decision.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
