Then it was done. Galatasaray are following up their spectacular loan deal with one of the world’s best strikers last season with something even bigger. For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Besiktas, a permanent Victor Osimhen transfer at Galatasaray means that the rival will start the season with a head start.
Things happen in Turkish football. Osimhen was absolutely outstanding on loan from Napoli as the Süper Lig’s top scorer with 26 league goals, now the Istanbul club has maneuvered to carry a permanent transfer. A signing that shatters the previous transfer record in Turkey.

Fenerbahce signed Youssef En-Nesyri from Sevilla in 2024 for 19,5 million euros as a record in Turkey, Galatasaray will pay 75 million euros for Osimhen. Part of the sum will be paid over the next twelve months, but still.
This pushes the boundaries in the Turkish league, the question is whether it is sustainable in the long run.
