Mert Sabri Barut, a young Galatasaray player escort from Bursa, has expressed his wish to ask Victor Osimhen for his facemask. Barut, who had the honor of walking out with Osimhen during his debut Super Lig match for Galatasaray against Rizespor, shared his excitement about meeting the Super Eagles striker.
The 7-year-old recounted his experience, stating, “I was the first child to hold Osimhen’s hand as he walked onto the field. I was very happy. He didn’t have the mask on at that moment, but if he had, I would have asked him, ‘Brother, can you give me your mask as a gift?’ I would have been thrilled. I noticed he wore the mask when he started the match. If we meet again and he’s wearing it, I will definitely ask for it.”
Barut’s admiration for Osimhen highlights the striker’s impact and the excitement he brings to fans, even young ones, who cherish moments with football stars.
