Osimhen: Galatasaray status ‘worth more than money’ as striker leads Champions League charge vs Liverpool Victor Osimhen has said the feeling of being appreciated at Galatasaray is 'worth more than money'. Osimhen will form part of the Galatasaray team that takes on Liverpool in the Champions League tonight. The Turkish Süper Lig side lead 1-0 from the first leg in Istanbul, in what is the club's first venture into the knockout rounds since 2013-14.
Osimhen has been a major part of the Turkish team's success, scoring seven times in Europe this season. It continues a prolific period for the Nigerian with Galatasaray, for whom he has scored 56 goals in 69 games since a shock transfer to Turkey. The 27-year-old was linked with lucrative moves to European giants and Saudi Arabia after a fall-out at former club Napoli, before signing for Galatasaray in a surprise loan move.
That transfer was made permanent last summer for a Süper Lig record fee of €75m. Reflecting on the decision, Osimhen said the chance to play for one of football's most passionate fanbases meant far more to him than financial gain. “When I left Napoli, do you know how many people told me, ‘Do not go to Turkey.
Are you crazy? ’ A former agent even told me, ‘No, no, no. Don’t go there.
