In one of the most sensational transfers of the summer, Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, has completed a permanent move to Galatasaray for a staggering fee of €75 million, smashing the Turkish Süper Lig’s all-time transfer record.

The Istanbul giants teased the deal on social media midweek, even offering fans a livestream of the striker’s flight to the Turkish capital. The club officially confirmed the blockbuster signing yesterday, sending shockwaves through European football.

Osimhen, 26, arrives from Napoli after a stellar spell in Serie A, where he established himself as one of the most lethal forwards in Europe.

His switch to Galatasaray comes after a successful loan spell last season, during which he became a fan favourite.

The Turkish champions have now moved decisively to secure his services long-term with a staggered payment structure, honouring his €75 million release clause over a five-year period.

This move obliterates the previous Süper Lig record set by Youssef En-Nesyri, who joined Fenerbahçe from Sevilla for €19.5 million last summer.

Osimhen’s deal is nearly four times larger, underlining Galatasaray’s growing ambition and financial muscle on the global football stage.

Speaking to the club’s official channel, GSTV, Osimhen expressed his joy and emotional connection with the club

“I have a deep connection with this club, this city, these people. That’s why I fought so hard to return here,” Osimhen said.

“I continue to have that feeling, to continue playing with a purpose.

“I want to do what’s best for myself and the fans, and I’m really happy to be here,” he said.
