Mithat Halis gives update on Victor Osimhen's likely destination
FIFA licensed agent, Mithat Halis, has given a glimpse of the next possible destination of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray SK but expected to leave at the end of the current campaign, back to Napoli, where his future will be decided, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
The 26-year old has had a wonderful campaign where he won the Turkish Cup and also the Super Lig while on course to be the Golden boot winner.
"Liverpool is now the first choice in England for every successful footballer like Osimhen. Former footballer Obi Mikel wants to take him to Chelsea. It is possible, they can make it happen because Chelsea has a very high payment power. But if Osimhen is not going to stay at Galatasaray, he wants to play at Liverpool in Europe", Mithat Halis said in a discussion with Turkish news outlet Habersarikirmizi.
"Mertens brought Osimhen to Galatasaray. If Mertens had not talked to him and given him full references, he would not have come. The Italian manager is not Gardi or anything. He gets the authority and talks with Napoli. Mertens is the one who talked to Osimhen and convinced him to join Galatasaray."
Although, Galatasaray have tried to make his deal permanent, Napoli rebuffed their first offer. Ultimately, the final decision rest on the player and his camp.
