A Galatasaray insider has dismissed speculation of a rift between Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen, insisting the two strikers enjoy a good relationship, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Reports in Turkey had suggested tension after the pair failed to register a goal or assist for each other in seven appearances together.
Icardi has been with the Istanbul club since September 2022, while Nigeria international Osimhen joined permanently in the summer of 2025.
Journalist Kaya Temel said there is no evidence of discord, citing sources at Galatasaray’s Kemerburgaz training facility.
"Again, there are those who like to create chaos where there isn’t any,” he told habersarikirmizi.
“There’s nothing to suggest that Icardi was applauded or Osimhen was upset.
“My reliable sources in Kemerburgaz say there’s no problem between Osimhen and Icardi; they joke around before every training session anyway.”
