Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has hinted Victor Osimhen could take a more bigger responsibility at the club next season.
The Nigeria international has established himself as a pivotal figure since his arrival at the RAMS Park two years ago.
Osimhen inspired Galatasaray to a domestic double in the 2024/25 season with a prolific return in goals and assists across all competitions.

This season, the Nigeria international has scored 20 goals across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds.
Buruk stated that the 27-year-old will soon be appointed as one of the club’s captains.
“Of course. Our president and board, together with me, will make the best decision on that. He’s a very strong leader, and he is already one of the hidden captains within the team,” Buruk declared after Galatasaray’s home win over Fenerbahçe on Sunday.
On the international stage, Osimhen was named Super Eagles vice-captain ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

No, Coach, please leave Osimhen out of this plan and appoint Baris Alper Yilmaz instead.
That lad can do anything at the moment to be lord over Osimhen……..LMAOooo.
Cos someone should pls explain to me how Osimhen, the designated penalty taker in the team will be on the pitch, and no sooner had the ref blown for a penalty, had Baris rushed to pick the ball to place it on the penalty spot….LMAOoo
Not even Yunus, the man who won the penalty, acted with such level of desperation. Dude cannot even hide his jealousy any longer…..LMAOooo
I loved the way Osimhen just acted unperturbed and uninterested……LMAOoo. “I go hussle my own goal”, he must have said to himself.
Please coach leave that guy out of your plan, we are talking about someone whom baca and madrid will soon have serious head-on collision for ho.
