Victor Osimhen has been left “very upset” after Mehmet Cibara, the man expected to become Galatasaray’s second vice-president, described the Nigerian striker as a “chronic problem”.
This was disclosed by football commentator and Turkish journalist, Haluk Yürekli.
According to Yürekli, Cibara had handed rival fans ammunition with his remark.
He stated this on the 343 Digital YouTube channel while commenting on the ‘chronic injury’ crisis surrounding Osimhen.
“Osimhen is the acute problem, but the Galatasaray management is the chronic problem,” Yürekli said.
“Mehmet Cibara, who is expected to become Galatasaray’s second vice-president, is calling Osimhen, Galatasaray’s most valuable asset, a player whose transfer fee has reached approximately 120-130 million Euros, a ‘chronic’ problem.
“Right now, you have given all the rival team’s fans ammunition by saying ‘Osimhen is the chronic problem.’ Correcting it later doesn’t mean anything.
“You should not have made this mistake. The first thing I heard, the information I received, was that he was very upset.”
