Victor Osimhen returns to Galatasaray, this time through a permanent transfer, after the two clubs have reached an agreement.
Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray meet again after a loan spell that left a lasting mark. The Nigerian striker, who was previously owned by Napoli, has now been brought in permanently by the Turkish club after a season in which he became a mainstay in the team’s attack. His performances were noticed in Istanbul, where his goals and physical strength fit perfectly into Galatasaray’s attacking style of play.

CONFIRMED: Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray
The transfer, which has been in the works for several weeks, has now been completed with significant financial sums. Galatasaray will pay 40 million euros immediately, while the remaining 35 million euros will be paid in the coming year. With this move, the Turkish club shows their ambition and strengthens the squad with a top striker who has proven his worth both in Italy and Turkey.
A notable point of the agreement is the restrictive clause included in the contract. For the next two years, Galatasaray cannot sell Osimhen to any Italian football club. This condition stems from Napoli’s desire to avoid facing their former player in Serie A and protect themselves from potential direct competition. A detail that adds a strategic layer to the agreement between the two clubs.
With this signing, Galatasaray gets a top player for their sporting project. Osimhen, who reunites with the fans who already embraced him as an idol during his loan stay, aims to establish himself as an offensive reference in the Turkish Süper Lig and in European tournaments. The permanent transfer marks an important chapter in the Nigerian player’s career and looks set to be one of the big transfer coups this summer.
Victor Osimhen has a salary of 10 million euros, a salary that he is willing to pay for. Galatasaray has offers and received acceptance of 8 million euros a year and a deal until the summer of 2030.
