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.

Real Madrid suffered their third Champions League defeat in five matches, falling 2-0 to Liverpool on Wednesday night. As a result, the reigning champions are in a dangerous situation in the league phase standings, sitting in the final play-off spot (24th).
Real Madrid had a dismal night, according to Marca, and Carlo Ancelotti assessed his team's performance."We did well in the first half. We defended well as a unit. The transitions were terrific, but we made the wrong option with the last ball. We could have evened it with the penalty. "We will improve."
Ancelotti also publicly supported Kylian Mbappe, who had his penalty saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher with the score still 1-0.
"Kylian Mbappe has everyone's support and will quickly recover from this terrible period. He is an exceptional player; we must be patient. He's doing well and adapting nicely."
Real Madrid will attempt to bounce back this weekend when they host Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu. They return to Champions League play in two weeks when they travel to face Atalanta.
