This is happening after lengthy negotiations with SSC Napoli for Osimhen, who featured on loan for Galatasaray in the 2024/25 season.
Turkish Süper Lig Club, Galatasaray, have reached an agreement with Victor Osimhen’s transfer from Italian Serie A club, Napoli, to the Turkish giants, as thousands of fans converged to greet the Nigerian striker upon his arrival in Istanbul on Wednesday night.
Nigeria sharpshooter, Victor Osimhen, whom the Yellow-Reds have long wanted to sign on a free transfer, arrived at the Atatürk Airport in Istanbul in the company of Galatasaray Sportif AŞ Vice President Abdullah Kavukcu.
Osimhen told reporters and fans: “I don’t know what words to use to describe this. I feel amazing to be here. Look at the crowd; look at the people following the plane. I’m home.
“This is where I want to be. I’m happy to be here, to be back. I’d like to thank our president, Abdullah Kavukcu, George Gardi, Okan Buruk, and everyone who made my return possible.”
Osimhen, 26, is expected to undergo medicals on Thursday, July 31, and after these checks, the goal machine will put pen to paper on a full transfer contract with Galatasaray on August 2, TRT Spor reports.
Osimhen continued: “I’d also like to thank the fans who showed me they wanted me, who wanted me as much as I wanted them. I’m happy to be here. As I always say: The story continues. I’m happy to continue this story with Galatasaray.”
