Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen has joined Galatasaray on a one-year loan deal after reaching an agreement with his former club, Napoli.
Following a failed move to Chelsea, the 25-year-old still had the opportunity to leave Napoli since the Turkish transfer window remains open until September 13.
On Monday, September 2, 2024, Victor Osimhen secured a season-long loan loan deal with Galatasaray.
The agreement includes no buy-back clause, with Galatasaray covering his full salary for the duration of the loan.
His release clause is set at €75 million, with Napoli having the option to extend his contract until 2027.
Upon arrival in Turkey, Osimhen was welcomed by a large crowd of enthusiastic fans at the stadium in Istanbul.
