In a significant transfer development, Turkish giants Galatasaray have reached an agreement with Italian club Napoli for the loan signing of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
According to sources close to the deal, Osimhen will join Galatasaray on a season-long loan, with the Turkish club having an option to make the move permanent next summer.
The 25-year-old striker has been a key player for Napoli since joining the club in 2020, scoring 30 goals in 65 appearances. However, with the arrival of new signings, Osimhen has found himself down the pecking order, leading to speculation about his future.
Galatasaray, seeking to bolster their attacking options, have moved swiftly to secure Osimhen’s services. The Turkish club’s president, Dursun Özbek, confirmed the agreement, saying, “We are delighted to welcome Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray. He is a talented young player who will strengthen our squad.”
Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray is seen as a win-win for both parties, allowing the striker to gain regular playing time while also enhancing the Turkish club’s attacking capabilities.
The deal is subject to a medical examination and the completion of paperwork before Osimhen’s official unveiling as a Galatasaray player.
This transfer development highlights the growing appeal of the Turkish Süper Lig, with top European clubs increasingly looking to the league for talent and opportunities.
