On May 29, 2025, Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen was received by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the Dolmabahçe Presidential Office in Istanbul. The meeting was part of a celebratory reception honoring Galatasaray's triumphant 2024–25 season, during which the club secured both the Süper Lig title and the Turkish Cup, marking their 25th league championship.
President Erdoğan personally congratulated each member of the Galatasaray squad, acknowledging their exceptional performance and the club's historic achievement of earning a fifth star on their crest—a first in Turkish football history.
Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, had an outstanding season with Galatasaray, scoring 36 goals and providing eight assists in 40 appearances across all competitions. His contributions were instrumental in the club's domestic double and have endeared him to fans, who are hopeful he will remain with the team for the upcoming season.
President Erdoğan expressed confidence in Galatasaray's prospects in the UEFA Champions League, stating, "I believe that Galatasaray, a distinguished club that stands out not only with the trophies it has won in its history but also with its sports culture, the exemplary athletes it has trained in many branches and the contributions it has made to the image of our country, will make us proud in the Champions League next season."
