Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has urged the public to disregard any speculation surrounding his future with the club after comments made by Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle suggested he could be close to completing a transfer away from the Turkish Super Lig champions this summer.
Chelle caused fresh rumours about Osimhen’s next destination while explaining his absence from Nigeria’s upcoming international friendlies against Poland and Portugal this June.
The Malian revealed that Osimhen requested to stay away from the squad as he focuses on a potential move.
“We miss two players because Victor Osimhen may be about to change clubs,” Chelle said.
However, in a post on his Instagram Story last night, Osimhen disclosed that he had spoken directly with Chelle to clarify the situation.https://urbanexpresslive.com/davido-withdraws-loses-legal-custody-fight-for-daughter/
“I just got off the phone with Coach Eric Chelle regarding the comments about me in his recent interview.
“Unfortunately, his words have been taken out of context and blown out of proportion. He has great respect for Galatasaray, follows most of our games, and never intended to create any controversy.https://urbanexpresslive.com/ucl-youre-weak-for-covering-your-mouth-with-a-shirt-vinicius-slams-prestianni-over-racist-comment/
“I appreciate the conversation, the opportunity to always represent my country, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. He is a great coach whom I respect a lot, and I kindly ask everyone to disregard the speculation surrounding this matter.”
