Galatasaray manager, Okan Buruk has quashed speculation surrounding Victor Osimhen's potential January exit, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Turkish outfit has been reported to be muting the idea of signing the Nigerian striker on a permanent basis in January even as Premier League club, Chelsea keep pushing for him.

However, Buruk insisted Osimhen is content at Galatasaray.

"Osimhen said, 'I will continue here, that is my thought' since he came. He is very happy here," Buruk said on Ersin Düzen ile Futbolün 100'ü program via 12punto.

"If he was unhappy, if there was someone who said 'I came here, why am I here', it could happen."

Buruk emphasized Osimhen's desire to stay.

"I don't know the transfer conditions. The player's desire is the main thing here. If the player wants, such a situation can happen."

He added, "But when the player comes here, he thinks 'I will not leave here, even if there is a clause, I will stay here'."
