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...
According to Florian Plettenberg, Odilon Kossounou and Nordi Mukiele will have their medicals later today.
However, while it appeared like the centre-back might be destined for a Premier League club, Atalanta soon arranged a deal with Die Werkself to secure his signing.
This has left Xabi Alonso's team in need of a replacement for the outgoing 23-year-old.
Nonetheless, the German champions had already picked Mukiele, a Paris Saint-Germain defender, as the best successor to Kossounou.
According to the source, all parties have agreed on loan moves for the respective players, and deals for Kossounou and Mukiele should be completed soon.
Kossounou is scheduled to have his physical with Atalanta later today before completing his move to the Serie A club, while Mukiele will also have his medical with Werkself, as the 26-year-old is ready to return to the Bundesliga.
