Victor Osimhen’s High-Profile Loan Move to Galatasaray: A Game-Changer for Turkish Football

The 25-year-old Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen of Napoli, who had several failed transfer attempts with other teams, is expected to sign a loan agreement with Turkish side Galatasaray. The transfer happens after Osimhen was benched by Napoli due to his desire to quit the team and the collapse of possible deals with Chelsea and Al-Ahli.

A straight loan arrangement until June 2025 has been concluded between Galatasaray and Napoli. Galatasaray will pay Osimhen’s whole €10 million season salary. After Osimhen heals, the Turkish team plans to start him in a two-striker system beside the injured Mauro Icardi.

A January break provision in the loan agreement allows Napoli to call up Osimhen in the event that a premier league shows interest in him during the winter transfer window. Should it is triggered, Galatasaray will be paid.

Notwithstanding the fact that this is a loan arrangement, it is regarded as the largest transfer in Super Liga history. With the arrival of Osimhen, Galatasaray’s approach of acquiring players who have fallen out of favour with their clubs, such as Zaniolo and Icardi, has paid off.

Given Icardi’s injury, Galatasaray is likely to move fast to finalise the deal before the Turkish transfer market ends on September 13. Osimhen has already agreed to the move, so the two teams just need to finalise the conditions.

Despite being a loan arrangement, this is regarded as the largest transfer in Super League history. Osimhen was acquired by Galatasaray as a result of their policy of recruiting players who had strained relationships with their clubs, such as Zaniolo and Icardi. we all beliecves victor can build out something.
