Galatasaray management brought Victor Osimhen, who became a father for the second time, to Istanbul by private plane after the Konyaspor match so that he could reunite with his family earlier.

Before the Konyaspor away match, Galatasaray’s Nigerian star Victor Osimhen, who experienced the joy of becoming a father for the second time, received a gesture from the red-and-yellow management.

HE RETURNED TO ISTANBUL BY PRIVATE PLANE

The experienced striker, who went to Konya by private plane hours before the match due to his wife’s childbirth, returned to Istanbul by private plane again, separately from the team, after the match.

''REUNITE WITH YOUR CHILD SOON''

It was learned that Galatasaray Club Executive Abdullah Kavukcu approached the Nigerian star after the match and said, "The private plane is ready here. Reunite with your child as soon as possible; let's return together." Osimhen, who welcomed this invitation from the executive, accepted the offer and immediately headed to the airport without wasting time.

A 2-HOUR DELAY WAS AVOIDED

It was stated that if the Nigerian striker had traveled with the team delegation, there would have been a delay of at least 1.5–2 hours due to procedures, and the management made this decision so that the star player could reunite with his newborn baby and family more quickly.
