Nigerian international and Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has completed a blockbuster €75 million permanent transfer from Napoli to Turkish giants Galatasaray SK, following an explosive loan spell in the 2024/2025 season.
Osimhen, 26, touched down in Istanbul on Wednesday, July 30, to a thunderous reception from thousands of Galatasaray supporters who flooded the airport to celebrate his arrival. Club anthems, flares, and chants filled the air as fans welcomed what many are calling one of the club’s most high-profile signings in recent history.

The Nigerian forward, who played a key role in Napoli’s Serie A title win in the 2022/2023 season, joined Galatasaray on loan last season. His blistering pace, clinical finishing, and relentless energy made him a fan favourite, prompting the club to secure him permanently this summer.
According to sources familiar with the deal, the transfer is structured as an initial €40 million payment, with €35 million due in 2026, and includes €5 million in performance-based bonuses. The total package makes Osimhen’s transfer one of the most expensive in Turkish football history.
