Galatasaray break Turkish transfer record to sign Osimhen
@Source: thenationonlineng.net
In what has been of the most headline-grabbing transfers of the summer, Victor Osimhen, yesterday completed his transfer from Napoli to Galatasaray after the Turkish giants forked out a record 75 million euros (85.74 million dollars)-which make the Nigerian the most expensive incoming transfer in Turkish soccer.
Osimhen’s transfer shattered the previous record set by Fenerbahce when they signed Youssef En-Nesyri from Sevilla on a five-year contract for 20 million euros in July last year.
As part of the agreement, 10% of any future profit from Osimhen’s next transfer will be paid to SSC Napoli, Galatasaray said.
“A four-year contract has been signed with the player, starting from the 2025-2026 season” Galatasaray said.

According to the agreement, the 26-year-old will receive net guaranteed salary of 15.0 million euros for each season.
Osimhen will also get a net loyalty bonus of 1.0 million euros per season and 5.0 million euros as image rights payments — compensating for the use of his name, image, and likeness in the club’s branding and promotional activities.
Napoli also confirmed the terms of the deal.
Osimhen had been linked with a move away from Napoli last year but the Nigeria international had seen a permanent move collapse on deadline day of the close season transfer window.
He subsequently joined Galatasaray on loan for the 2024-25 season, where he delivered in an outstanding campaign with 37 goals and eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions, leading them to a 25th Turkish league title.
