AFCON 2025: Osimhen Threatens To Dump Super Eagles, Return To Galatasaray
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen reportedly threatened to quit the national team and return to Turkey.
According to Arise News, Osimhen was left fuming following his altercation with Ademola Lookman during the 4-0 win over Mozambique at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Osimhen lashes out at Lookman, for failing to pass to him in the 64th minute of the match.
Osimhen then beckoned on the bench asking to be taken off, before he was replaced by Moses Simon.
At full time, Osimhen stormed out of the stadium and dropped his accreditation card, insisting he was “done” with the national team and wanted to fly back to Turkey.
He was then pacified by senior officials of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
