Turkish football commentator Ersin Düzen has revealed the only condition that could prevent Victor Osimhen from staying at Galatasaray next season.

The football expert believes that Osimhen’s next club will not be determined solely by the suitor with the strongest financial power.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Düzen stated that the only stumbling block to Osimhen’s permanent Galatasaray move is the possibility of a transfer to a top European club in the summer.

"Galatasaray fans should know this clearly. The only reason Osimhen will not stay at Galatasaray is if a top European team is interested in him," he said.

"Osimhen says, ‘I’m grateful to Galatasaray. The love between us is very different.’ Such a bond, such a love isn’t experienced with everyone," he added.

The former African Footballer of the Year has been in remarkable form for the Yellow and Reds since joining the club last September.

The 26-year-old has registered an astonishing 35 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions for the Süper Lig giants.

Most recently, the Super Eagles striker showcased his brilliance by netting a brace in Galatasaray’s 3-0 victory over Trabzonspor in the Turkish Cup final.

Osimhen's latest heroics came in Galatasaray's 3-0 thrashing of Trabzonspor in the Turkish Cup final-where he netted a brace to help Okan Buruk's side to lift their first silverware of the season.
