Victor Osimhen touched hearts in Naples with a simple yet emotional message: “Grazie per tutto” (“Thank you for everything”) after finalizing his permanent transfer to Galatasaray, closing a significant chapter at the Italian club where he heroically contributed to Napoli’s 2022-2023 Scudetto win.
Since joining Napoli in 2020, Osimhen swiftly established himself as a key scorer, netting 76 goals in 133 appearances and becoming Serie A’s top scorer during Napoli’s first league title in 33 years. His crucial role in this historic achievement left unforgettable memories for fans at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.
After impressing on loan at Galatasaray in the 2024-2025 season with 37 goals in 41 matches, he chose to make his move permanent for €75 million, becoming the most expensive player in Turkish football history. His decision was driven by emotional ties to Galatasaray and their passionate supporters rather than the higher financial offer received from clubs like Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, summed up in his words “Solo il Gala” (“Only Gala”).
By sharing nostalgic photos on social media, Osimhen paid tribute to Napoli with a heartfelt “Thank you for everything.” This sparked warm reactions from former teammates and fans alike, showcasing the enduring respect and affection he holds for the Italian club despite his departure.
This exit closes a glorious chapter for Osimhen in Naples and opens a new phase at Galatasaray, where he aims to continue making history and shining brightly. »
