ISTANBUL, TURKEY — Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly rejected a management offer from world-renowned football agent Jorge Mendes.
The rejection was reported on Wednesday by journalist Ali Naci Küçük via Habersarikirmizi. Osimhen politely declined the offer.
Osimhen’s Response
According to the report, Osimhen said his focus is entirely on his current club. He told Mendes: “Right now, all my concentration is on Galatasaray.”
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a permanent transfer last year from Serie A side Napoli. The 27-year-old had spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Galatasaray.
He won the Turkish Super Lig during his loan spell. His deal was made permanent the next season.
Transfer Links
The Super Eagles attacker was linked with several top European clubs during the last summer transfer window. These included Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea.
Despite the interest, Osimhen remained at Galatasaray. He has continued to deliver goals for the Turkish club.
What This Means
Osimhen’s decision to reject Mendes shows his commitment to Galatasaray. It also suggests he is focused on his football rather than transfer speculation.
Mendes is one of the most powerful agents in world football. He represents several top players, including Cristiano Ronaldo. His interest in Osimhen shows the striker’s growing profile.
What Happens Next
It remains to be seen if Osimhen will leave Galatasaray in the upcoming January transfer window or next summer in 2027.
For now, the striker is focused on helping his club win trophies. He is also preparing for Nigeria’s upcoming international fixtures.
