Osimhen Scores as Galatasaray Thrash Antalyaspor, Shift Transfer Focus to Salah

Victor Osimhen continued his impressive form for Galatasaray, scoring his latest Turkish Super Lig goal as the champions cruised to a 4-1 victory over Antalyaspor on Sunday.

Galatasaray made a flying start, taking the lead in the 7th minute when Leroy Sané finished calmly after being played through by Yunus Akgün, beating goalkeeper Abdullah Yiğiter. Just four minutes later, the visitors doubled their advantage as Sallai fired home from outside the box following a pass from Barış Alper Yılmaz.

The defining moment came in the 56th minute, when Osimhen latched onto a long ball from Yunus Akgün, surged into the penalty area from the left and slotted past Yiğiter to make it 3-0, taking his Super Lig goal tally higher.

Galatasaray maintained control for the remainder of the match to seal a convincing 4-1 win, underlining their title credentials.

Meanwhile, off the pitch, Galatasaray transfer news continues to generate headlines. Club commentator Uğur Karakullukçu revealed that the Turkish giants are now prioritising a move for Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, ahead of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

Both Salah and Lookman have been linked with a potential switch to the Turkish Super Lig, with Lookman recently reintegrated into the Atalanta squad after a stalled summer exit, while Salah has endured a turbulent period at Liverpool, including being left out of a recent Champions League fixture against Inter Milan.

The developments signal Galatasaray’s growing ambition as they eye marquee signings to strengthen their squad.
