That’s a massive move if Galatasaray actually pull it off — €70 million for Victor Osimhen would absolutely smash their transfer record and mark a major shift in their ambitions on the European stage.
Osimhen has been electric since joining, and those 28 goals in 32 games are no joke. He’s clearly thriving in the Turkish league, and it makes sense that the fans have taken to him so strongly. But convincing Napoli to sell and fending off giants like Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and the Saudi clubs will be no easy feat.
The reported salary — €15 million net per year plus bonuses — is Premier League-level money. That would make him one of the highest-paid players in Turkish football history, if not the highest. It also shows just how serious Galatasaray are about building something long-term and not just being a selling club.
Do you think he’ll actually stay in Turkey, or is this just a stepping stone before a Premier League or Saudi move?
