Victor Osimhen Gives Green Light to Galatasaray – Deal Now in Club Hands
The Victor Osimhen transfer saga has taken another major twist, as the Nigerian striker has now agreed personal terms with Turkish giants Galatasaray in a deal that would keep him at the club until June 2028.
Sources close to the negotiations confirm that Osimhen has said ‘yes’ to Galatasaray, marking a significant step toward what would be one of the most sensational transfers in recent Turkish football history. After several weeks of speculation, Osimhen’s willingness to join Gala signals serious intent from both player and club.
The move, however, is not finalized yet. It now depends entirely on negotiations between Galatasaray and Napoli. The Turkish side has already made an initial bid of €55 million, which is still short of the €75 million release clause that Saudi club Al Hilal was prepared to activate earlier this summer.
Despite the more lucrative offer from Al Hilal, Osimhen appears to have prioritized sporting ambition and personal preference over financial gain, giving Galatasaray the edge in the race for his signature. The Super Lig champions are said to be working aggressively behind the scenes to bridge the gap in valuation and seal the deal. If completed, the transfer would not only be a statement of intent from Galatasaray, but also a defining moment in the club’s modern era bringing in one of Africa’s top strikers and a proven goal machine in European football.
Osimhen, 26, was Napoli’s top scorer last season and has long been on the radar of top clubs across Europe. However, his connection to Galatasaray has grown stronger over recent months, with both sides now aligned on personal terms.
All eyes now turn to Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and Galatasaray’s board. Will a compromise be reached? Can Gala increase their offer and push this blockbuster move over the line?
Stay tuned the final chapter of this transfer drama may be written very soon.
