In an interview reported by Tuttosport, Victor Osimhen addressed the €100 million price tag that has been associated with him and shared his thoughts on his new teammates at Galatasaray.
Osimhen, who joined the Turkish club in the final days of the transfer window, expressed confidence in his abilities and worth, stating, “In my opinion, I’m worth more than 100 million because there are few players who have characteristics and success like mine in modern football.” He acknowledged that while some may disagree with this valuation, he respects differing opinions.
The former Napoli star also spoke positively about his transition to Turkish football and life in Istanbul. He described the city as “crazy” and praised its incredible fans, saying, “I’m very happy.”
Discussing his new teammates, Osimhen highlighted his relationship with Dries Mertens, stating, “I’ve spent a lot of time with Mertens, he’s incredible. He always manages to motivate me, and both he and his family are very important to me.”
When asked about fellow striker Mauro Icardi, Osimhen showed respect for his new teammate’s status at the club, remarking, “I’ve known Icardi for a long time, and here he’s a legend. He will help us a lot with his goals and assists.”
