Galatasaray technical director, Okan Buruk, has reaffirmed that there is a clause in Victor Osimhen’s loan transfer from Napoli that allows the player to join one of his numerous suitors during the January transfer window. Buruk made the assertion while fielding questions on a range of issues bordering the Turkish champions during an interview on their official website on Sunday. He hinted at Osimhen’s promise to stay at the club till the season’s end, revealing that his transfer didn’t seem realistic at first after initial discussion with Mauro Icardi. He said, ”Osimhen has the intention of staying here until the end of the season. He also wants to stay; he said the same thing at the beginning. “There is a clause there, but it doesn’t matter; he said he will stay. There is a clause about transfers in January. This clause has different things. “The important thing is the player. The player who decides. That’s why Osimhen says he will stay here. He said the same thing when he came.” Recalling the genesis of the process of securing the services of the 25-year-old Nigeria striker, Buruk said, “We went to Milan. I go there when I have permission. I lived there for three years. I know the place; it’s food and drink… Gardi is my friend.
