Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has agreed a permanent move to Galatasaray. This was revealed by a Nigerian journalist and Osimhen’s close friend, Buchi Laba.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, Laba wrote: “Exclusive: Victor James Osimhen says YES to Galatasaray & wants to continue with the Turkish Team. Napoli for weeks have been pleading with Victor Osimhen to stay.
“Osimhen has made it very very clear that he wants to leave. Galatasaray and Napoli are currently in negotiations for the payment of his Release Clause. More information soon.”
While on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen helped the club to a Turkish Süper Lig crown. The Super Eagles striker led the charge with 25 league goals and 36 across all competitions, helping the club secure their 25th league title and a first domestic double since 2019.
His brace in the Turkish Cup final also broke Mario Jardel’s long-standing record, making him the highest-scoring foreign player in a single Turkish season.
