What Galatasaray striker Osimhen told Turkiye president during championship reception

Galatasaray's championship celebrations at the Presidential Dolmabahçe Working Office carried a special spotlight on Victor Osimhen, who used the occasion to express gratitude and reflect on the significance of the club winning the 2025–2026 Super Lig.

The Galatasaray delegation, led by club president Dursun Aydın Özbek and manager Okan Buruk, was received by Türkiye president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan following their title-winning campaign.

Osimhen was among the standout players as The Lion secured a fourth consecutive title with one game to spare, scoring fifteen goals and producing five assists in twenty-two appearances. 

Speaking during the ceremony, the Nigeria international delivered a brief message directly to president Erdoğan, thanking him for the invitation and the honour of being received at the presidential office.

Osimhen said: "Thank you very much for receiving us. It is always a great pleasure to be in your presence.

"Just as our president said, we must win the cup to meet you in person."

Osimhen returned to Galatasaray on a permanent basis last summer after a successful loan spell, signing a four-year contract that will keep him at the club until June 30, 2029.

The former African Footballer of the Year won the Super Lig and Turkish Cup during his loan spell in 2024-2025.
