However, Osimhen refused to wear it, giving the armband to Yunus Akgün and suggesting the attacking midfielder should be the one to lead the team.
Akgün was surprised at Osimhen’s decision and tried to convince the former African Footballer of the Year to wear the armband, but he refused.
Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk had said he wanted Osimhen to be one of the club’s captains next season after Mauro Icardi’s departure.
