The question now is how long Osimhen will stay at Galatasaray and feel that Turkish love.
He has a 130m euro release clause at Napoli, while there are also rumours of a break clause, external in his loan at Galatasaray which would allow him to move on in January.
He continues to be linked with several major European clubs, including Tottenham, Galatasaray’s next opponents in the Europa League on Thursday. For Osimhen, this could be a chance to place himself in the early Christmas shopping window.
According to Bayazit, it is also a question of finances and squad balance for Galatasaray.
“If I was an accountant I would say, ‘don’t do it’,” he says when asked if Galatasaray will aim to keep the striker beyond his loan.
He suggests Napoli “will want 50m euros bare minimum” as a transfer fee. Galatasaray’s record signing is midfielder Gabriel Sara from Norwich last summer for 18m euros.
Bayazit also highlights the issue of TV rights in Turkish football. In the summer a new deal was struck with Bein Media for $182m a season. Before 2019-20, the Super Lig had a $500m yearly deal, but fluctuations in the Turkish lira saw the contract renegotiated, external.
“Galatasaray have Mauro Icardi, so they should spend that money on a different position to centre forward,” adds Bayazit. “One reason it was a really surprising move was that they have great strikers but no star wingers.
“Fans were very critical before Osimhen happened as there was no star winger. They are now happy, but as a puzzle piece fitting in, it doesn’t make sense.”
Unsurprisingly, Garcia Gomez kept his cards close to his chest when asked about Osimhen’s future.
“Hopefully this relationship remains,” he said. “But we must be focused on the present.”

Big East preseason player of the year Ryan Kalkbrenner scored a career-high 49 points and 15th-ranked Creighton needed just about every one of them in a season-opening 99-86 win over UT-Rio Grande Valley on Wednesday night.
Creighton, a Sweet 16 team three of the last four seasons, couldn’t shake off the Vaqueros of the Southland Conference until the final two minutes.
The 7-foot-1 Kalkbrenner’s point total was the second-highest in program history behind Bob Portman’s 51 against UW-Milwaukee in 1967. The fifth-year center was an astonishing 20 of 22 from the field, including 2 for 2 on 3-pointers, and he made 7 of 8 free throws. He also grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots.
Steven Ashworth scored 25 points for the Bluejays.
Hasan Abdul-Hakim had 24 points and Cliff Davis and DK Thorn added 17 apiece for the Vaqueros (0-2), who were within 87-82 when Howie Fleming Jr. made a fifth-chance basket with 2:37 left.
UT Rio Grande Valley: The Vaqueros kept it close by going 14 of 35 on 3-pointers and outworking Creighton on the boards in the second half. They finished with 19 second-chance points. They dropped to 0-14 against Top 25 opponents and have lost 56 straight against power-conference opponents, according to Sportradar.
Creighton: The Bluejays were 30-point favorites, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, and got more than they bargained for against the Vaqueros. Coach Greg McDermott was forced to play his starters until the final minute.
Kalkbrenner scored 10 straight points in a variety of ways in the first half. He made a free throw, hit a 3 from the wing, dunked a lob from Jamiya Neal, beat the player guarding him downcourt for a fast-break layup and showed some post moves for an easy bucket.
Creighton won its 30th straight home opener, a streak that started in 1995.
Creighton hosts Fairleigh Dickinson on Sunday in the second of four home games over 11 days. UT-Rio Grande Valley returns home to play Champion Christian College on Sunday.

There are plenty of European heavyweights still outside those top eight positions, with Manchester City, in 10th, and Arsenal, 12th after losing to Inter Milan, on seven points and therefore not on pace to hit the 16-point target.
However, Pep Guardiola’s side remain favourites to win the competition for a second time, still with a 91.1% chance of reaching the last 16 and a 19.3% chance of claiming the trophy.
Arsenal are given an 80.0% chance of progressing to the last 16 but also a 58.4% chance of having to go through the knockout round play-off to do so.
City have Juventus and Paris St-Germain among their remaining fixtures, while Arsenal must face high-flying Sporting and Monaco in their next two.
Celtic are 15th and also on seven points, having boosted their hopes with a second win, beating Leipzig 3-1 on Tuesday. They visit Villa in the final match on Wednesday, 29 January, when all 36 teams will play at the same time.
Celtic’s latest victory means Brendan Rodgers’ side – on the same points as the likes of Juventus (11th), Bayern Munich (17th) and Real Madrid (18th) – have a strong chance of making the top 24 (78.2%), with their last 16 hopes rated at 40.2%.
French champions Paris St-Germain are the biggest name outside the top 24, having won just one of their first four games and with City and Bayern Munich to come. The 2020 finalists are now given only a 43.4% chance of making the last 16.
