Share

Istanbul, July 19, 2025 – Galatasaray are on the verge of completing one of the most sensational transfers in their history, with a €75 million fee agreed in principle with Napoli for star striker Victor Osimhen.

The structure of the deal has been verbally approved by the Italian club, with only minor details left to finalise. While Galatasaray remain cautious given the scale of the operation, sources close to the negotiations suggest a full agreement is within reach.

If completed, the move would mark a major statement of intent by the Turkish champions, who are preparing for a Champions League campaign and looking to reinforce their squad with elite-level talent.

Osimhen, 26, has been one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards in recent years, helping Napoli to a historic Serie A title and consistently attracting interest from top clubs across the continent. Known for his blistering pace, aerial dominance, and clinical finishing, the Nigerian international would be a transformative signing for Galatasaray both on and off the pitch.

Negotiations have progressed steadily in recent days, with both clubs keen to reach a conclusion before the final stretch of pre-season. Personal terms are not expected to be an obstacle, as Osimhen is reportedly open to a new challenge after several years in Italy.

A final breakthrough could arrive in the coming days as the remaining contractual and payment structure details are ironed out.
