Will today be Coronation Day for Galatasaray and Victor Osimhen at Samsunspor?
Galatasaray need to win today to be champions of Turkey for a fourth straight season.
They are seven points clear of closest rivals Fenerbache with 74 points from 31 matches and victory today against seventh-placed Samsunspor will maintain the gap even in the event that Fenerbache beat Basaksehir in an Istanbul Derby with only two rounds of matches to the end of the regular season.
Last season, ‘Gala’ won a third consecutive Super Lig crown with Victor Osimhen finishing as top scorer with 26 goals.
This term, he has thus far fired half that tally – 13 goals – in the league.
Even before he has another Turkish championship medal around his neck, speculations over his future have been rife.
He still has a contract until June 2029 and ‘Gala’ are open to sell, but at double the 75 million euros they signed him last summer.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG as well as a clutch of Premier League clubs are reported to be interested in the star striker, whose annual salary of around 21 million euros will also be a major consideration in the negotiations.
