Galatasaray have secured the permanent signing of striker Victor Osimhen following a successful loan spell in 2024/25.
The Nigeria international has been one of football's most exciting attacking talents in recent years following his move to Europe in 2017, where he spent time with the likes of Wolfsburg and Lille before he completed a big money move to Napoli in 2020.
However, Osimhen's relationship with the Serie A club soured last summer and after failing to agree a permanent move away, he joined Turkish side Galatasaray on a season long loan.
There, he scored 37 goals in 41 appearances across all competition, earning him a permanent switch to the Turkish champions this summer.

Osimhen had been at the centre of a transfer approach from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, who had hoped to sign him before their involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup, but he instead opted to return to Turkey.
Galatasaray will pay Napoli a reported fee of €75m as they hope to build on the success of last season's title win and compete in the Champions League.
