Nigerian and Napoli striker\u00a0Victor Osimhen<\/a>\u00a0has sealed a mega-money permanent transfer to Turkish giants\u00a0Galatasaray<\/a>\u00a0in a deal worth \u20ac75 million.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old will earn a staggering \u20ac21 million (about N37 billion) per season at the Istanbul-based club, making him one of the highest-paid players in Turkish football history.<\/p>\n

His arrival marks a bold statement of intent from Galatasaray as they prepare to defend their S\u00fcper Lig title and challenge in Europe.<\/p>\n

Osimhen, who spent the 2024\/25 season on loan at Galatasaray, signed a four-year contract that includes a \u20ac15 million net salary, a \u20ac1 million loyalty bonus, and \u20ac5 million in image rights annually.<\/p>\n

The transfer fee will be paid in two instalments: \u20ac40 million upfront and the remaining \u20ac35 million by the end of the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Napoli will receive 10% of the profit from any future sale, not the total transfer fee, as confirmed in an official statement by Galatasaray.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn agreement has been reached with SSC Napoli for the transfer of Victor James Osimhen. The total fee is \u20ac75 million, and 10% of any future profit from a subsequent transfer will go to Napoli,\u201d the club said.<\/p>\n

Osimhen made an instant impact during his loan stint, scoring 26 goals and providing 5 assists in 30 league games and adding 6 goals and 1 assist in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

His goals helped Galatasaray win the 2024\/25 S\u00fcper Lig title, finishing 11 points ahead of arch-rivals Fenerbah\u00e7e.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian forward was flown into Istanbul by private jet and welcomed by thousands of ecstatic fans who tracked his arrival live on Galatasaray\u2019s official YouTube channel. Speaking to reporters, a visibly emotional Osimhen shared his joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels great to be back. This is home for me, my family, and my friends. I want to thank everyone who made this happen: the President, Vice President, Coach Okan Buruk, George Gardi, and especially the fans who pushed for my return. I\u2019m happy to be here. The story continues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Napoli signed Osimhen from Lille in 2020 for \u20ac78.9 million, including player exchanges. The Serie A club now receives a sizeable return and a stake in Osimhen\u2019s future market value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
