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.
