Turkish football expert Onur Tugrul believes Victor Osimhen is unlikely to turn down major contract offers, citing the immense personal responsibilities the Nigerian star carries.
Speaking on the Vole YouTube channel, as reported by Habersarikirmizi, Tugrul explained that Osimhen faces unique pressures compared to many other professional footballers.
“Edin Dzeko turned down three times more money from Saudi Arabia before joining Fenerbahçe. But Osimhen’s situation is different,” Tugrul said.

“Victor supports hundreds, even thousands of people back in Africa. They live in very crowded conditions. Even when they go out at night, they’re surrounded by a crowd. He never eats at Turkish restaurants—he sticks strictly to Nigerian food,” he added.
Reports have recently emerged suggesting that Osimhen has agreed to a three-year deal with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, though this has yet to be officially confirmed. Meanwhile, Premier League giants Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are all reportedly monitoring his situation.
Osimhen is expected to return to Napoli following his loan spell at Galatasaray, who are also keen on signing him permanently.
