Tanju Çolak Tips Osimhen to Hit 30 Goals as Galatasaray Eye Back-to-Back Titles

Legendary Turkish football commentator Tanju Çolak has tipped Victor Osimhen to enjoy yet another prolific season in front of goal for Galatasaray, predicting the Nigerian striker will score between 25 and 30 goals this campaign.

Çolak also expressed his full confidence that Galatasaray will retain the Turkish Super Lig crown, insisting that no team can match the quality and firepower of the defending champions.

“Galatasaray is a star-studded group. There is no player who doesn’t score goals,” Çolak said via Habersarikirmizi.
“No one can beat Galatasaray, no one can challenge them. I wholeheartedly believe Galatasaray will be champions again this season. Osimhen will score at least 25 goals this season; it could be 30.”

The Super Eagles forward fired Galatasaray to the league title last season with a stunning 37 goals in all competitions, after initially joining from Napoli. His loan spell turned permanent this summer, and he has already opened his account for the new season, scoring in last weekend’s 4-0 victory over Kayserispor.

Opinion: Can Osimhen Rewrite Galatasaray’s History Books?

Osimhen’s arrival in Turkey has been nothing short of sensational. From Napoli’s talisman to Galatasaray’s new hero, the Nigerian forward has seamlessly carried his scoring boots across borders.

If Çolak’s prediction comes true, Osimhen could cement himself not only as one of the best strikers in Europe right now, but also as a club legend in Istanbul. His pace, power, and lethal finishing make him a nightmare for defenders, and with Galatasaray’s talent-packed squad supplying him, hitting 30 goals doesn’t look far-fetched.

The bigger picture? For Galatasaray, Osimhen isn’t just scoring goals — he’s giving the club global recognition. Turkish football has rarely had a striker of his pedigree in recent years, and his performances could attract even more eyes to the Super Lig.

The question isn’t whether Osimhen will score — it’s how many he’ll score, and how far Galatasaray can go in Europe with him leading the line.
