Turkish football pundit Mehmet Demirkol has predicted that Victor Osimhen could break Milan Baros’ goal‑scoring record at Galatasaray. He made the comment after Osimhen helped the club to a 3‑1 Super League victory over Göztepe, speaking on the Socrates Magazine YouTube channel. Demirkol praised Osimhen’s style, noting that the striker reaches a new level with each match.
Osimhen has already netted 43 goals for Galatasaray, while Baros, a former Galatasaray forward, scored 61 during his tenure. Demirkol believes that if Osimhen maintains his current form, he could surpass Baros’ tally this season. With 24 league games, a European fixture, and several cup matches still to play, Osimhen has ample opportunity to achieve the feat.
The pundit also compared Osimhen to former Turkish international Tuncay Şanlı, highlighting the Nigerian’s passion, work rate, constant pressing and creativity on the field. These qualities, Demirkol said, make Osimhen a standout player.
Osimhen’s impressive performances have defined Galatasaray’s current season, and Demirkol’s prediction has generated considerable interest among fans. As the campaign progresses, observers will watch closely to see whether Osimhen can eclipse Baros’ record. His goal‑scoring prowess will be vital for Galatasaray’s ambitions in both the Turkish Super Lig and European competitions, cementing his status among the league’s top strikers.
