Victor Osimhen gives a clear response to transfer rumors

The comments made by national team coach Eric Chelle regarding the transfer rumors surrounding Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who is having a successful season with Galatasaray, have become a major topic of discussion. Chelle's explanation for not including Osimhen in the squad, using the phrase "He will probably change clubs," caused a significant stir among sports fans and media outlets.

Osimhen clarified the situation in a social media post, stating that he had a direct phone conversation with his coach. The experienced footballer said, "I just spoke on the phone with Eric Chelle regarding the comments he made about me in his latest interview.

Unfortunately, his words were taken out of context and exaggerated. He has great respect for Galatasaray, follows most of our matches, and had no intention of creating any controversy.

I am grateful for this conversation and for the opportunity to always represent my country, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. He is a great coach whom I respect very much, and I ask everyone not to pay attention to the speculations regarding this matter.

Thank you for your support."

CHELLE'S REMARKS THAT MADE HEADLINES

Regarding his decision not to include Victor Osimhen and Lookman in the Nigeria National Team squad, coach Eric Chelle said, "We have two matches, one against Poland and one against Portugal, and I am having a lot of trouble because some players do not have visas. Most importantly, we will be deprived of two players, Osimhen and Lookman. Because Osimhen will probably change clubs. We prefer him to stay at home, because if he plays, he might not be able to give 100 percent, which would not be good."
