“Wow, Crazy”: Manchester City Star Reacts to Osimhen’s Move to Galatasaray

• Victor Osimhen has finally agreed to join Turkish champions Galatasaray on a season-long loan offer
• He accepted the loan offer after seeing proposed moves to Chelsea and Al-Ahli collapse on deadline day
• Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who was linked with Galatasaray, has reacted to the news on Instagram

Victor Osimhen's loan move to Galatasaray has rocked the football world. The Nigerian ended the most entertaining transfer of the summer window.

Osimhen was expected to leave Napoli this summer but saw proposed moves to Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Al-Ahli collapse for different reasons.

After the deadline day, it felt like he would not leave Napoli, but after the club confirmed he would be frozen out and would never play again, he sought a solution in Turkey.

According to Evening Standard, the Nigerian accepted to join Turkish champions Galatasaray after they offered a one-year loan with full salary covered. The deal also includes a break clause if a top team wants him in January.

The Super Eagles star initially rejected a loan move during Chelsea's early negotiations with Napoli, which was one reason the deal was left until the deadline day.

Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan was surprised by the move and could not hide his reactions under a post on Instagram, the screenshot of which was circulated by Fabrizio Romano.
