Osimhen Hails Rafael Leao as ‘Superstar’ After Galatasaray Transfer

Victor Osimhen has welcomed Rafael Leao to Galatasaray, describing the Portugal international as a “superstar” following his move from AC Milan to the Turkish champions.

Osimhen spoke after Galatasaray’s 3-2 victory over Göztepe at the weekend, with the Nigerian striker expressing excitement about the arrival of his new attacking teammate.

Asked about Leao’s transfer, Osimhen told reporters: “Very good [signing]. Rafael Leao is a good superstar, I said it.”

Leao completed his move to Galatasaray from Serie A giants AC Milan as the club continues to strengthen its squad for the new campaign.

The Portuguese forward is now set to join forces with Osimhen, creating a potentially dangerous attacking partnership for Galatasaray in domestic and European competition.

Leao also spoke positively about his new teammate after completing the transfer. The former AC Milan star said he and Osimhen could achieve great things together at the Turkish club.

The Portugal international is expected to make his Galatasaray debut when the Super Lig champions take on Istanbul Başakşehir on Friday.

With two high-profile forwards now sharing the Galatasaray attack, attention will be on how quickly Leao settles into the team and whether his partnership with Osimhen can deliver goals and trophies.
