Mourinho Praises Osimhen But Critiques His Diving
Jose Mourinho, the manager of Fenerbahce, has commented on Victor Osimhen’s recent transfer to Galatasaray. Mourinho expressed his admiration for Osimhen as a player and acknowledged that he would have been interested in signing him for Fenerbahce.
However, Mourinho also raised concerns about Osimhen’s tendency to dive or simulate fouls. He criticized this aspect of Osimhen’s game, suggesting that it could be a negative.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan after failing to secure a permanent move away from Napoli this summer. Despite his diving tendencies, Mourinho clearly recognizes Osimhen’s talent and potential.
“Osimhen is a great player. If I were at a club that could give €70-75 million, I would take him.
“I have a very good relationship with him. I just don’t like the way he throws himself down a lot,” Mourinho said, as quoted by BBO Sports.
