Osimhen Advised To Leave Galatasaray For Premier League Or LaLiga By Former Napoli Teammate

According to Daily Post Nigeria on Saturday, October 10, 2026, Victor Osimhen’s former Napoli teammate, Diego Demme, has advised the Nigerian striker to consider leaving Galatasaray for either the English Premier League or Spain’s LaLiga to gain greater visibility in European football.

Osimhen initially joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli before the Turkish club completed his permanent signing in 2025. Since moving to Turkey, the 27-year-old forward has helped the club win consecutive Turkish Super Lig titles.

His performances have also been linked with interest from several leading European sides, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

Despite Osimhen’s success in Turkey, Demme believes the striker has the quality to compete at a higher-profile club in one of Europe’s major leagues.

“I think Osimhen is very happy in Galatasaray because he likes the fans and they like him, but I still want to see him play for one of the biggest clubs in Europe in a league like La Liga or the Premier League,” Demme told R.org.

The former Napoli midfielder acknowledged the positive relationship between Osimhen and Galatasaray supporters but argued that a move to England or Spain could offer the striker greater exposure.

Demme also stressed that Osimhen’s quality as a forward makes him suitable for a move to a more prominent European competition.

“I think he has to do it because he is a really good striker, and he would have more visibility than he currently has in Turkey.”

Osimhen has become an important figure at Galatasaray following his arrival, with his goals and contributions helping the club maintain its domestic success. His future has continued to attract attention amid reports linking him with several of Europe’s biggest teams.

However, Demme’s comments represent his personal opinion on the striker’s career rather than confirmation that Osimhen intends to leave Galatasaray.

A potential move to the Premier League or LaLiga would place Osimhen in another major European football environment, although any transfer would depend on the interests of the player and the clubs involved.
