As the football community buzzed with excitement over Victor Osimhen’s recent departure from Serie A giants Napoli—marked by a controversial transfer saga.

Amid the celebrations, a Nigerian prophet emerged with a disquieting prediction regarding Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray, raising eyebrows and fueling speculation.

The prophecy, which quickly gained traction on various social media platforms, caught the attention of Osimhen’s camp, prompting a strong and defiant response.

Representatives for the striker did not hold back, issuing a sharp rebuttal directed at the prophet’s unsettling claims.

Emotions ran high as they sought to defend Osimhen’s reputation and dismiss any ill intentions behind the prediction, highlighting their determination to protect the player during this pivotal moment in his career.

Primate Elijah Ayodele, a Nigerian cleric, stirred controversy with a scary prophecy about Victor Osimhen’s recent transfer to Galatasaray.

Speaking during a sermon at his INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church located in Lagos, Ayodele stated that the 26-year-old striker would not enjoy the new transfer. Osimhen sealed a permanent move from Napoli to the Turkish giants in July 2025 for €75 million ($87.7 million).
