Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has officially joined Turkish champions Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli, ending months of transfer speculation linking him to Chelsea and Al Ahli.
The 25-year-old Nigerian forward took to social media to celebrate his move, sharing his enthusiasm with Galatasaray fans.
“Super excited to be part of the Galatasaray family! I can’t wait to give my all and make the most of this new journey with such an amazing group and the fans.
Ready to create unforgettable memories together!” Osimhen posted.
His move to Galatasaray was made possible due to Turkey’s extended transfer window, which allowed the Istanbul club to secure the deal after the European window had closed.
Galatasaray will cover €9-10 million of Osimhen’s wages, with the striker set to wear the number 45 jersey.
Osimhen is expected to lead Galatasaray’s attack in the absence of Mauro Icardi, who is currently sidelined with an injury.
Both strikers are anticipated to form a potent partnership once Icardi returns in October.
Galatasaray fans have expressed their excitement about the arrival of the prolific forward, eager to see him make an impact in both domestic and European competitions.
This move marks a fresh chapter in Osimhen’s career, as he continues to build on his reputation as one of Europe’s top strikers.
His dedication and passion for his new club are sure to make him a fan favorite in Turkey.
