At 26 years old, Nigerian star striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of completing a permanent transfer from Napoli to Galatasaray, following a successful loan spell last season. After months of tough negotiations, the two clubs have reportedly agreed on a record-breaking fee of €75 million — one of the highest transfers in the history of the Turkish Süper Lig.
The deal involves an upfront payment of €40 million, with two further installments of €17.5 million each, plus bonuses that could raise the total cost to €80 million. Napoli has also included a special « anti-Serie A » clause, preventing Galatasaray from selling Osimhen to any Italian Serie A club before 2027, effectively closing the door for a swift return to Italy.
Osimhen has been a key player in Galatasaray’s recent domestic double-winning campaign, and the striker is set to sign a three-year contract with the Istanbul club. This move represents a pivotal moment in his career and highlights Galatasaray’s ambitions on both the continental and European stages.
While Napoli prepares to move on, Osimhen aims to cement his legacy in Turkey. This record transfer not only increases his international profile but also solidifies Galatasaray’s attack for the coming seasons.
