BREAKING! Osimhen will leave Napoli overnight for a transfer to a top club in Turkey
It's official! Nigerian superstar striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli has found a new club.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen will fly to Istanbul tonight to finalize his move to Galatasaray. As expected, the Turkish club will loan Osimhen until the end of the season and will fully cover his salary.
However, Osimhen has made it clear that he doesn't plan to stay long at Galatasaray. The striker is open to considering different options in the winter transfer window if any top clubs show interest.
This summer, Chelsea and Al-Ahli were in negotiations for Osimhen's transfer, but no agreement was reached. Meanwhile, Napoli no longer counts on the Nigerian forward, even excluding him from their Serie A squad for the season.
During his four seasons at Napoli, Osimhen scored 76 goals in 133 matches across all competitions. In the 2022/23 season, which saw Napoli win the Scudetto, Osimhen was the top scorer in Serie A with 26 goals.
Galatasaray failed to qualify for the Champions League this summer and will compete in the UEFA Europa League group stage.
