Transfer: 'I rather remain at Galatasaray' - Osimhen names club he'll never join

Frankfurt goalkeeper Michael Zetterer said he has “no more or less respect” for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen than for any other opponent, including those he faces in the Bundesliga. Speaking ahead of Thursday’s UEFA Champions League tie at Deutsche Bank Park, Zetterer emphasized that he treats every opponent equally and remains focused on the task at hand.

The match will pit the Bundesliga side against the Turkish Super Lig champions. Osimhen, who missed Galatasaray’s last league game after sustaining an ankle‑ligament injury in a World Cup qualifier against Rwanda earlier this month, may return to the lineup. The Nigerian international finished last season with more than 36 goals in all competitions for Galatasaray and has been in impressive form.

Frankfurt will be looking to make a strong impression in the Champions League, while Galatasaray hopes to build on its recent success in the Turkish league. If Osimhen is fit, the Turkish side will aim to pose a formidable challenge to their German opponents. The spotlight will be on Zetterer’s ability to contain Osimhen’s attacking threat, testing the goalkeeper’s Bundesliga experience against the striker’s scoring prowess. Both teams are eager to make a statement, promising an exciting encounter.
