Victor Osimhen Set for Shock Move to Galatasaray as Napoli Finalize €75M Deal

In a stunning twist to the summer transfer window, Galatasaray and Napoli are now finalizing the paperwork for the high-profile transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Romano confirmed on X (formerly Twitter):

“Galatasaray and Napoli, at the signing stage for all documents of Victor Osimhen deal. Lawyers working to get the agreement formally sealed over the weekend. Here we go, confirmed.”

The Turkish giants are reportedly activating Osimhen’s €75 million release clause, with a payment structure of €40 million upfront and the remaining €35 million due by June 2026.

🇳🇬 A New Chapter for Osimhen

Osimhen, 25, had long been linked with top Premier League sides like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, but his next destination is Istanbul, in a surprising but ambitious move by Galatasaray.

He leaves Napoli after a historic 2022/23 season, where he scored 26 league goals and helped deliver their first Serie A title in 33 years, becoming a cult hero in Naples.

💬 Opinion: A Bold Yet Unexpected Move

This is no ordinary transfer. Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray, though not a typical path for a player in his prime, suggests the club is serious about making a splash in European competitions.

For Osimhen, it could be a chance to reinvent himself, lead a new project, and become the face of Galatasaray’s continental ambitions. But for many fans, especially Nigerian supporters, it raises the question:

Could he have held out for a more competitive league? Or is this the big-money power move of the Turkish side too good to pass up?
