Here we go: Victor Osimhen Joins Galatasaray in Blockbuster €75M Deal!

In what is undeniably the biggest transfer in Turkish football history, Victor James Osimhen is set to become the new king of Istanbul as Galatasaray have successfully landed the Nigerian striker from Napoli on a permanent deal worth €75 million.

Sources close to the negotiations confirm that all terms set by Napoli were finally met by the Turkish giants after a fierce five-offer tug-of-war, with Osimhen himself reportedly pushing hard behind the scenes to make the deal happen.

The full agreement includes:

💰 €75 million transfer fee paid outright by Galatasaray

🔁 10% sell-on clause to Napoli for any future sale

📋 Medicals scheduled in Istanbul in the coming days

The move comes after weeks of speculation and increasing tension between Osimhen and Napoli’s top brass. Despite a previous verbal promise to let him leave for the right price, Napoli had turned down four formal offers, including one from Saudi Arabia and another from the Premier League.

But Osimhen, known not just for his explosive pace and deadly finishing but also his fierce ambition, held his ground. Sources reveal the 25-year-old forward personally urged Napoli’s management to respect his desire for a fresh challenge, ultimately forcing their hand on the fifth proposal.

The Nigerian international, who scored 26 goals to fire Napoli to their historic Serie A title in 2023, now begins a bold new chapter in his career.

Galatasaray’s ultras have already started preparations for his grand arrival, with banners of “Welcome King Osimhen” spotted outside the Rams Park Stadium as early as Sunday evening.

The deal also places Osimhen among the most expensive signings in Turkish Super Lig history, and Galatasaray have now sent a loud message to the world — they are back and ready to conquer Europe.

Club officials are expected to unveil Osimhen this week in a stadium-packed event that could rival even the Ronaldo presentation at Real Madrid, as fans from across Turkey prepare to welcome their new No. 9.

For Napoli, this marks the end of an era — but one they’re likely to profit from again, should Osimhen move on for a bigger fee in the future.

As for Osimhen? His eyes are now set on becoming a living legend in Istanbul — and the first African to lead Galatasaray to Champions League glory.
