Galatasaray are closing in on a potentially historic end to their season, with veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera and prolific striker Victor Osimhen each poised to break significant records for the Turkish giants.
At 37, Uruguayan shot-stopper Muslera is chasing a personal milestone that would etch his name even deeper into club folklore.
Having already lifted 17 trophies since arriving at Galatasaray in 2011, the captain is within reach of a record-breaking 19th title.
Should Galatasaray secure both the domestic league and cup titles this season, Muslera would surpass the legendary trio of Bülent Korkmaz, Tugay Kerimoğlu, and Emre Belözoğlu, each of whom ended their careers with 18 trophies.
Muslera’s enduring presence between the posts and leadership on and off the pitch have made him an indispensable figure in the squad.
With more than a decade of service in Istanbul, he remains a symbol of consistency and ambition at a club steeped in tradition.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the pitch, Nigerian international Victor Osimhen is spearheading Galatasaray’s attack with devastating impact.
The 25-year-old forward has already found the back of the net 29 times in all competitions this season, and he is on the brink of rewriting history books of his own.
Osimhen is just five goals shy of the all-time record for most goals scored in a single season by a foreign player in Turkish football.
That record, currently held by Brazilian playmaker Alex de Souza, stands at 33 goals from his time at Fenerbahçe.
With several matches remaining, Osimhen is well-placed to not only equal but eclipse that tally.
Surpassing that benchmark would also see Osimhen overtake Mauro Icardi’s club record of 32 goals for a foreign player in a single season, further elevating his status in Galatasaray’s storied history.
His clinical finishing, intelligent movement, and ability to turn matches on their head have made him a talismanic presence throughout the campaign.
Together, Muslera and Osimhen represent the balance of experience and ambition fuelling Galatasaray’s title push.
The Uruguayan’s composed leadership and the Nigerian’s relentless scoring drive have galvanised a squad now dreaming of a glorious season finale.
With both players on the cusp of landmark achievements, the coming weeks could see Galatasaray fans witness history in the making.
Whether it is Muslera cementing his legacy as the most decorated player in club history, or Osimhen becoming the most prolific foreign scorer in a single season, the stage is set for a dramatic and unforgettable conclusion to the campaign.
