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...
Wolves are closing in on the acquisition of Andre from Fluminense, with the midfielder scheduled to have a medical at Molineux.
Gary O'Neil's team has agreed to sign the Brazil international for €25 million (£21 million) plus add-ons, with Andre due to go to England to complete his move to the Premier League.The purchase is a record for Fluminense and will be viewed as a coup for Wolves, given interest in the 23-year-old from some of Europe's elite clubs. Manchester United and Liverpool have kept an eye on him, and Fulham has been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder in recent months.
Personal terms have been agreed, and Andre will become Wolves' sixth signing of the summer window. His presence will be a welcome boost for O'Neil, given his team's openness in their 6-2 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.
Following the sales of Max Kilman (£40 million) to West Ham United and Pedro Neto (£54 million) to Chelsea, O'Neil indicated that Wolves would not conduct any additional activity.
Andre, on the other hand, appears to be on his way to Molineux before Friday's Premier League transfer deadline, where he will join colleagues Matheus Cunha and Joao Gomes from Brazil.
Who did Wolves sign Andre?
Andre is a defensive midfielder who rose through the ranks at Fluminense to become one of South America's hottest properties.In 2021, he was voted the Best Newcomer in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and in 2022, he made the Team of the Season. Last year, he played an important role in the club's first Copa Libertadores win.
He has five senior caps for Brazil after making his debut with the Selecao in 2023.
