Former Nigeria legend Sunday Oliseh has sounded a warning to Victor Osimhen amid strong indications that the Napoli striker is heading for a permanent deal with Galatasaray. Posting on X, Oliseh described Osimhen’s career decision as a pivotal “delicate crossroad” and urged him to aim for the English Premier League—warning that delaying could lead to lifelong regret .
Despite impressing during his loan spell at Galatasaray—where he hit 26–37 goals and helped the team secure the Turkish Süper Lig and Cup double—Oliseh believes a move to the Premier League would better elevate Osimhen’s global standing and development .
Premier League giants like Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with Osimhen, but no concrete bids have emerged. While Napoli has reportedly slashed its asking price to €75 million, serious interest from England remains elusive. In contrast, Galatasaray are set to trigger the release clause and have tentatively reached personal terms, according to multiple sources .
Oliseh—who starred for Nigeria in the Premier League—warned, “Victor Osimhen is at a very delicate crossroad. He needs to find his way to the Premier League in a hurry, or he risks so much regret! Man United and Arsenal need this player if only…” . His message has sparked debate in Nigerian football circles, with supporters split between pushing for top‑flight English exposure and embracing the Galatasaray chapter.
Now 26, and reportedly close to signing a three‑year Galatasaray deal, Osimhen is at a defining point in his career. Should he choose Turkey, it may offer prestige and comfort—but a launchpad to the Premier League could cement his legacy among football’s elite. The decision, Oliseh insists, must be made now—or risk being a regret too late.
