The tension quickly breaks as both men burst into laughter.

The video emerges at a time when Osimhen’s profile is at an all-time high.

His form has attracted interest from Europe’s biggest clubs. Liverpool are reportedly leading the race, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain also in pursuit.

PSG, in particular, are believed to be willing to offer up to €150 million for the Nigerian star.

Despite this, Osimhen appears committed to staying at Galatasaray for now. However, a compelling offer could tempt the Yellow-Reds to consider a sale in the summer.Select 73 more words to run Humanizer.
