Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray visited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday night. The trip marked part of celebrations following the club's championship success.

Erdoğan welcomed the delegation at his Dolmabahçe Working Office in Ankara. Club president Dursun Aydın Özbek and manager Okan Buruk led the group.

Osimhen seized the moment to thank the president personally. He expressed gratitude for the invitation and the honor of visiting the presidential residence.

"Thank you very much for receiving us," Osimhen told Erdoğan during the ceremony. "It is always a great pleasure to be in your presence."

The striker added: "As our president mentioned, we must secure the cup to meet you in person." His words reflected the club's pride in their achievement.

Galatasaray clinched their fourth consecutive title with one match still to play. Osimhen played a crucial role in that success this season.

In twenty-two appearances, he's scored fifteen goals and provided five assists. His impact on the team's trophy run has been undeniable.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray permanently last summer after an impressive loan spell. He signed a four-year deal keeping him at the club until June 30, 2029.
