Galatasaray are pulling out all the stops to keep Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen in Istanbul, with reports revealing the Turkish giants are preparing a jaw-dropping offer that could shatter club records.
After joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli—following a failed transfer to Chelsea—Osimhen has taken the Turkish Super Lig by storm. The 25-year-old Super Eagles striker has been nothing short of sensational, netting an impressive 28 goals in just 32 appearances across all competitions.
His red-hot form and relentless hunger for goals have not only turned him into a fan favourite, but also placed Galatasaray on course to defend their league crown and secure the domestic cup. Naturally, the club’s hierarchy are desperate to make his stay permanent—and they’re willing to spend big.
According to Spanish outlet AS, via Cumhuriyet, Galatasaray are ready to offer Napoli a whopping €70 million transfer fee—an unprecedented sum in Turkish football. That’s not all. Osimhen would also be handed a lucrative three-year contract worth €15 million per season after tax, along with performance-based bonuses. The proposed package puts him in the same financial bracket as some of Europe’s elite strikers.
But it won’t be an easy battle. Galatasaray face stiff competition from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and even cash-rich Saudi Arabian teams eager to lure the striker with their own mega offers.
Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Galatasaray are ready to do everything in their power to keep their star man in Istanbul. Whether their record-breaking bid will be enough to fend off interest from Europe’s footballing powerhouses remains to be seen—but for now, fans can dream.
