In a monumental move, Galatasaray secured the signature of Nigerian football sensation Victor Osimhen from Serie A giants Napoli for a staggering 75 million euros, the Turkish champions unveiled.

This transaction not only sets a new benchmark for incoming transfers in Turkish soccer, surpassing Fenerbahce's acquisition of Youssef En-Nesyri, but also includes a clause that entitles Napoli to 10% of Osimhen's future transfer profits. Osimhen's impressive loan stint with Galatasaray, scoring 37 goals in 41 matches, solidified his place as a coveted star.

The 26-year-old striker's four-year contract promises a net annual salary of 15 million euros, supplemented with a loyalty bonus and image rights payments, bolstering his value both on and off the field.
