Victor Osimhen has turned down an offer by the management of Turkish champions Galatasaray for him to wear jersey No 9 now vacated by Mauro Icardi, who has left the club.
Turkish Sabah newspaper reported yesterday that Galatasaray executives presented Osimhen with a new jersey with his name and a new number of 9.
However, the striker said he would rather stick with the jersey No 45, which he has worn since his joined the Turkish giants.
He said that jersey has brought him luck.
“I expect that you will sell more jerseys, but I think you will understand me. Number 45 brought me luck at Galatasaray. I want to continue with the same jersey,” he told the club bosses.
