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 Süper Lig. The Crown...
Napoli has identified Romelu Lukaku as one of their top summer goals, and sources indicate that the Partenopei has reached an agreement with Chelsea for the Belgian international.
New manager Antonio Conte is desperate to reunite with the player who helped Inter win the Scudetto in 2021, with the player himself said to be interested in a move.Chelsea are willing to sell Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at Roma, for around €38 million, but according to La Repubblica (via calciomercato.com), an agreement of €30 million has already been reached.
The future of two of Napoli's current top stars, Nigerian attacker Victor Osimhen and Georgian superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, is said to be essential to the agreement.
The former, who has a €150M release clause, appears to be caught in limbo, with several suitors turned off by the amount. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old's future will be decided after Euro 2024, with Conte anxious to keep him in his side despite approaches from Paris Saint-Germain.
