‘This News Is Not True’: Osimhen Denies Number 9 and Captaincy Demands

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has dismissed reports suggesting he demanded Galatasaray’s number 9 shirt and captaincy for next season.

Speaking to Forza Cimbom, Osimhen was clear in his response: ‘This news is not true.’

The denial comes amid growing speculation around the forward’s future, with several European giants closely monitoring his situation.

Despite intense interest, Galatasaray have rejected offers as high as €120 million, signaling their determination to keep Osimhen at the heart of their project.

Club sources indicate that the Yellow and Reds intend to build their squad around the prolific striker, who has become one of the most sought-after forwards in world football.

Recent reports had claimed Osimhen wanted to wear the number 9 shirt and assume the captain’s armband next season, but the player’s direct rebuttal has put those rumors to rest.
