Osimhen has landed in Istanbul and, according to multiple sources including Fabrizio Romano, he will undergo his medical on Thursday before officially signing his Galatasaray contract.

Galatasaray will pay Napoli €40m in one payment this summer, €35m in one year plus an extra €5m in goal bonuses.

The transfer also incluides a number of stipulations such as a 10 per cent sell on clause for Napoli, while Galatasaray are now allowed to sell the Nigerian back to Serie A for the next two years.

Osimhen has agreed a contract until 2028 with the option of a further year.

Osimhen to Galatasaray

Osimhen was eager to make his loan move at Galatasaray permanent and has finally done that after an exhausting transfer saga.

Galatasaray previously had offers of €50m plus €5m in bonuses - and then €60m - rejected by Napoli, who were demanding over €75m to sell.

He rejected multiple lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and Al-Hilal as he wanted to continue his football in Europe.

Osimhen had ideally hoped to secure a move to the Premier League or a major European club - with Juventus also admirers - but with no offer forthcoming settled to remain at Galatasaray.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray last summer on loan for the season from Napoli until June 2025.

It was a dry loan with Galatasaray simply covering his salary from September until June at a cost of €10 million.

He enjoyed a fantastic season with Galatasaray, scoring 36 goals in all competitions and winning the league.

The 26-year-old had a release clause in his Napoli contract worth €75 million, for foreign clubs only from July 1 to 15.
