The news has caused a big buzz not just in Istanbul, but around the whole football community: Galatasaray have officially signed Nigerian star player Victor Osimhen from Napoli for a huge fee of £64. 8 million (€75 million). This isn't just a record-breaking transfer for Turkish football; it's a monumental statement of intent, a declaration that the Turkish champions are ready to ascend to the next level, both domestically and on the grand European stage. Osimhen is staying at Galatasaray permanently after a very successful loan period during the 2024-25 season. He helped the team win the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup, scoring an amazing 37 goals in 41 games across all competitions, including 26 goals in the league, marks the culmination of a protracted transfer saga. It's a move that underscores Galatasaray's ambition, their financial muscle, and their ability to convince one of the world's most coveted strikers to commit his prime years to the SΓΌper Lig. The Crown...
After a brief hiatus, EURO 2024 resumes this weekend with four knockout matches, beginning with Italy and Switzerland facing off in Berlin.
Germany's injury-time equaliser guaranteed the Swiss finished second to their opponents in Group A, but they remain unbeaten in their past seven games, winning one and drawing two.Italy also finished second in their group, but needed a 98th-minute equaliser against Croatia to get to the knockout stages.
Luciano Spalletti has made six changes since that game, with the excellent Riccardo Calafiori sidelined for being booked twice in three games.
Federico DiMarco is also missing due to injury, so Gianluca Mancini and Matteo Darmian take over in defence, while Nicolo Fagioli and Bryan Cristante replace Jorginho and Pellegrini in midfield.
Federico Chiesa and Stephan El Shaarawy are flanking Gianluca Scamacca.
Switzerland has kept things more simpler, with Silvan Widmer missing due to suspension and being replaced by Ruben Vargas.
Who do you believe is responsible?
