However, despite the fact that Galatasaray are very careful about Osimhen, the requests from the Nigerian National Team have reached a remarkable level.
He made an emergency landing
The plane carrying the Nigerian national team, includingVictor Osimhen and Wilfred Ndidi, made an emergency landing shortly after take-off due to a cracked windshield.
He had missed very important matches
The 26-year-old striker joined the national team for the Lesotho and Benin matches. However, the fact that he trained on a dirt pitch in the Nigeria camp and was transported on a poorly maintained bus caused great concern on the Galatasaray front. Osimhen, who was injured in the Rwanda match, had previously missed Galatasaray's matches against Eyüpspor, Konyaspor and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Always wanted to play
While Galatasaray's worries have not yet subsided, this time a request from the Nigeria Football Federation has caused a stir. It has been learned that a senior official has sternly warned Technical Director Eric Chelle not to take Victor Osimhen out of the game again except for injury. He was reminded of the reactions after the star striker was substituted in the 89th minute against Lesotho and asked not to make a similar decision again. This decision was enough to make the Galatasaray front extremely nervous.
National Team performance
Victor Osimhen has scored 26 goals in 43 appearances for the Nigerian national team. However, Galatasaray wants the national team process to be carried out under more professional conditions so that this high performance does not cost the player his health.
