A shock to England's giants: Victor Osimhen chooses Galatasaray

The Nigerian striker's name has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United in the past few months as two of the real options to sign the exciting young attacker, but it looks like they are just a few steps away from signing for a club away from England.

The young Nigerian's future was tilted to the right, left and all directions previously with many rumours and news linking his name to many other clubs, but he seems to have chosen to continue in the place where he succeeded after Napoli, in Turkey, Istanbul.

It was not an easy road to signing Victor for Galatasaray, many offers were rejected by the Italian club Napoli, in the end all parties reached a compromise and Victor Osimhen is expected to be an official Galatasaray player in a few days after passing the medical examination.

Victor Osimhen's blockbuster move to Galatasaray appears to be reaching its final chapter after intense negotiations. Turkish sources confirm all parties have finally agreed terms, with the Nigerian striker set to undergo medical examinations before sealing his switch to Istanbul.

The €75 million deal - structured as €40 million upfront with €35 million deferred to 2025 - marks a significant coup for the Süper Lig champions. Napoli's firm stance on their valuation has paid off, though the Partenopei secured an additional 10% sell-on clause for future transactions. While rumors circulated about a two-year restriction preventing transfers to Serie A rivals, this remains unverified.

Osimhen's arrival will shatter Galatasaray's wage structure, with the 25-year-old set to earn €18 million annually - making him the club's highest-paid player ever. The agreement ends months of speculation linking the prolific forward with Saudi Arabian and Premier League destinations, notably Manchester United and Liverpool.

Final contractual details, including potential special clauses, will be disclosed upon the transfer's official completion. This move not only reshapes Galatasaray's ambitions but also marks a new chapter for one of Africa's most lethal strikers.
