Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has revealed that the Turkish giants are on the verge of completing the permanent signing of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli — a deal he described as the core focus of their entire summer transfer strategy.

🗣️ “Everything is positive regarding the Osimhen transfer. We are nearing completion. We hope it will be concluded positively soon,” Buruk said, via Habersarikirmizi.

According to him, a significant portion of the club’s budget has been dedicated to securing the Nigerian forward — a clear statement of intent from the Istanbul-based club, who are aiming to make waves both domestically and in Europe.

💰 Deal Details:

• Transfer Fee: €75 million

• Payment Structure:

  • €40 million upfront

  • €35 million within 12 months

• Bank guarantees and instalment plans already agreed with Napoli

🦅 Osimhen’s Impact:

Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, was a fan favorite and delivered goals when it mattered. His permanent move is expected to ignite the Turkish Super Lig and raise Galatasaray’s competitiveness in the UEFA Champions League.

Buruk also hinted at further signings after the Osimhen deal is wrapped up:

“Once that is finalized, we are looking at what we can do.”

✍️ Opinion Corner

This isn’t just a transfer — it’s Galatasaray’s biggest statement in a decade. Securing Osimhen permanently from Napoli is like signing the heartbeat of your ambition. The Nigerian striker brings firepower, flair, and fearlessness, and in return, Galatasaray gives him a stage where he’s loved and trusted.

At a time when most African players look west toward the Premier League or Saudi riches, Osimhen’s journey to Istanbul shows the changing face of European football — one where tradition and fan passion still matter.
