Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen bumped into Nigerian business mogul Tony Elumelu on Wednesday, 8 July 2026, as he made his return trip to Turkey aboard a private jet ahead of Galatasaray’s pre‑season preparations.
Softfootball gathered that the pair shared a warm moment together, engaging in conversations about business, football, life, and family. Their meeting wasn’t entirely unexpected. Osimhen had visited Elumelu during a vacation in Nigeria about two years ago, and the two have maintained a cordial relationship since then.
Osimhen is expected to resume training on Friday, 10 July 2026, as Galatasaray begin preparations for the new campaign. The Nigerian striker remains one of the club’s most important players, and his early return signals readiness for another big season.
