Crazy Move: Ilkay Gundogan Questions Victor Osimhen’s Galatasaray Transfer
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has stunned fans by labeling Victor Osimhen’s loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray as "crazy". The German-Turkish midfielder made his remarks on social media after the news of the deal was broken by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Osimhen is set to join Galatasaray on a one-year loan deal, with a break clause in January that allows him to leave for another club if a fee is received. This surprise move has sent shockwaves through the football world, with many wondering why the Nigerian striker has opted for a move to the Turkish club.
Gundogan, who has Turkish roots, is one of the few players in the world who can understand the excitement and passion that surrounds football in Turkey. However, his "wow… crazy" comment suggests that even he is baffled by Osimhen’s decision to leave Napoli.
For his part, Osimhen is looking to regain his form after a slow start to the season. The 23-year-old striker has scored only two goals in seven appearances for Napoli this season, and a move to Galatasaray could provide him with the fresh start he needs to get back to his best.
While Osimhen’s future is uncertain, one thing is clear: the Galatasaray transfer is one of the biggest shocks of the transfer window. Only time will tell if Gundogan’s "crazy" comment proves to be prophetic.
