Osimhen in Talks with Lookman over Galatasaray Move — Could This Be the Nigerian Duo Turkey Has Been Waiting For?

Transfer talks are heating up in Turkey, and this time, it involves two of Nigeria’s finest football stars — Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.

According to Turkish football transfer expert Süleyman Rodop, Osimhen has personally spoken with Lookman about the possibility of joining Galatasaray, the reigning Turkish Super Lig champions.

Rodop, quoted by Habersarikirmizi, revealed that Lookman’s transfer fee is estimated at no less than €60 million, while Galatasaray are reportedly ready to go as high as €40 million in negotiations.
However, the biggest talking point remains Lookman’s wage demand — a staggering €9 million per year.

“Osimhen spoke with this player. According to what I’ve heard, the player wants 9 million euros annually,” Rodop stated.

While there are no direct negotiations currently taking place, the rumor mill in Istanbul is already spinning fast.

If this deal pulls through, it won’t just be another transfer — it’ll be a statement. Imagine Osimhen and Lookman, two of Nigeria’s brightest attacking forces, lighting up the same league. The chemistry, the pace, the flair — it could be box office football in Turkey.

From Atalanta to Galatasaray, Lookman’s potential move represents more than just a paycheck. It could be a chance to step into a new spotlight — in a country where football passion runs deeper than the Bosphorus itself.

Of course, €9 million a year is no small demand, and even for a club like Galatasaray, it’s a stretch. But for a player of Lookman’s quality — fresh off back-to-back standout seasons in Italy and with international form to match — it might just be worth it.

If this Nigerian link-up happens, Galatasaray fans could be in for a thrilling ride — and the Turkish Super Lig might just become a little more Naija-flavored. 🇳🇬🔥
