Turkish football powerhouse Galatasaray is preparing a record-breaking €70 million offer to secure the permanent signing of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, following his stellar performances on loan from Napoli.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray after a failed transfer to Chelsea, has become an instant sensation in Istanbul, netting 28 goals in 32 appearances across all competitions. His impact has been pivotal in the club’s campaign to retain the Turkish Super Lig title and clinch the domestic cup.
The 25-year-old Super Eagles forward has not only proven prolific on the pitch but has also won over fans, becoming a cult hero in a remarkably short time.
According to reports from Spanish outlet AS, via Turkish publication Cumhuriyet, Galatasaray are ready to put forward an offer of €70 million to Napoli, along with a lucrative three-year contract for Osimhen worth €15 million net per season. The package also includes substantial performance-related bonuses, positioning it among the most competitive salary deals in European football.
Despite Galatasaray’s strong intent to keep the Nigerian international, they are expected to face stiff competition from top European clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and clubs in the Saudi Pro League — all reportedly monitoring the striker’s availability.
Osimhen’s rise at Galatasaray comes amid speculation over his long-term future, with his value and profile soaring after consistent top-level performances. Napoli, for their part, are yet to officially respond to the Turkish club’s expected bid.
If the deal goes through, it would mark one of the most significant transfers in Turkish football history, underlining Galatasaray’s ambition to establish themselves among Europe’s elite.
