Victor Osimhen leaves Napoli and officially flies to Galatasaray. After weeks of negotiations, the deal was finally reached overnight: a total of 75 million, plus bonuses and specific clauses.
As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sport, the agreement between the two clubs is complete, with the Nigerian strikerâwho had already played in Turkey last seasonâreturning to Istanbul, but this time on a permanent transfer.
Galatasaray will pay 75 million euros to secure Osimhen, but not in a single payment:
A detail that stands out: the contract includes an anti-Italy penalty. For the next two years, Osimhen cannot return to Serie A unless Galatasaray pays Napoli an extra fee.
This clause was strongly desired by the Azzurri club to avoid the "risk of betrayal".
The main sticking point? Bank guarantees. Napoli insisted on secure conditions and guaranteed payment flows.
The negotiation was unlocked only after a lengthy redefinition of the financial details and the future resale clause. At that point, the "green light" was given.
Osimhen returns to a city he already knows. After his loan experience, he is now preparing to lead Galatasaray in the Champions League and win over Turkish fans with his goals.
In his first season in Istanbul, Osimhen scored a total of 37 goals and provided 8 assists in 41 matches across the league, Turkish Cup, and Europa League.
