Osimhen nearly comes to blows with Mouriño in friendly
The Nigerian striker clashes with Villarreal's Mouriño in a tense encounter that requires teammates to step in and prevent things escalating.
Víctor Osimhen continues his preseason with Galatasaray as speculation swirls over his future. According to Rubén Uría on 'El Club de Uría', the Nigerian striker has offered himself to Atlético Madrid, a club he admires after facing them in the Champions League and praising Diego Pablo Simeone. The operation, if it materializes, would be worth around 75 million.
On Saturday, in a friendly against Villarreal, Osimhen scored a header in the first half, showcasing his effectiveness in the box. However, it was his off-pitch antics that stole the show: in the second half he clashed with Mouriño in a confrontation that quickly escalated. The striker even removed the protective mask he usually wears and had to be held back by several teammates to prevent things coming to blows, in an episode reminiscent of classic Diego Costa behavior.
