Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has provided a huge update on his future and revealed a hilarious story over a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Who Will Victor Osimhen Play For Next Season?
The Nigerian striker has been one of the biggest talking points in recent transfer windows, as he looks to move away from Napoli in search for a new experience in the sport.
A permanent deal away from Naples failed to materialize last summer, with many clubs refusing to pay the Nigerian’s wages and Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan in a last-minute deal.
Over the course of the 2024/25 season, the striker contributed to 45 goals in 41 appearances for the Turkish side (37G + 8A) and won a league/cup double.
Now, the 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, but despite the best betting sites pricing the Saudi Pro League as the most likely destination – Osimhen has declined multiple offers from Al Hilal.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus and AC Milan have all been linked with the Napoli star and Osimhen spoke about his future this summer in a recent interview.
Victor Osimhen said (Via Daddy Freeze YouTube): “It’s always like this when the season ends and the summer transfer window begins. You have a lot of clubs wanting your services, but right now, I’m focused on my holiday and enjoying myself.
“While I’m enjoying my break, I’m also reminiscing about the past season I had with Galatasaray — watching clips of my goals, the mistakes I made, and the things I did well.”
What Did Victor Osimhen Say About Cristiano Ronaldo?
Osimhen also spoke about his experiences with top players around Europe, highlighting Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar as the top three stars.
The Nigerian focused primarily on Ronaldo, as the two went head-to-head in the 2020/21 season with Napoli taking on Juventus twice in the Serie A.
In April 2021, Juventus beat Napoli 2-1 and Cristiano Ronaldo managed to get on the scoresheet, while Osimhen won the penalty that Lorenzo Insigne converted.
Andrea Pirlo was in charge of Juventus at the time, who recently revealed his opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo when talking about his hardest opponents of all-time.
In the recent interview, Osimhen revealed a hilarious story about taking a selfie with the Portuguese icon after the match and how he waited for over 30 minutes.
Victor Osimhen said (Via Daddy Freeze YouTube): “I used to say to my friends, the day I’m going to play against Ronaldo, Messi, or Neymar—these are legends, people I love so much—I’m taking a picture with them. I don’t care, even if we lose 10-0.
“I said to him, ‘Chris, I would like to take a picture with you.’ He said, ‘Yeah, come to the dressing room.’
“Buffon saw me, came to me, and asked what I wanted. He went to the gym and told me Ronaldo was working out, told me to sit with him.
“We were just talking, it was almost 30 minutes, he was not out yet. I waited for one hour, he was still working out.
“He said, ‘Great game, just keep on going,’ and I shook his hand. Nobody is surprised seeing Ronaldo doing what he’s doing now, but he’s actually a great personality.”
