Wednesday, September 4, 2024 - Victor Osimhen has signed with Galatasaray after former Italian champions, Napoli, and the player agreed on a loan move to the Turkish giants on Monday night.
After his failed move to Chelsea, the 25-year-old still had
a lifeline of moving out of Napoli as the Turkish transfer window closes on
September 13.
On Monday night, September 2, Osimhen signed with
Galatasaray on a loan deal with no buy-back clause with his salary paid in full
by Galatasaray during the one year loan. His release clause will be €75m with
Napoli option to extend until 2027..
He immediately flew to Turkey and was mobbed by the fans in
the stadium.
This comes after the striker was disappointed to miss out on
a move to Chelsea and also Al Ahli on transfer deadline day.
Napoli were said to have agreed a €70m plus €10m in bonuses
with Al-Ahli, with the player receiving €40m per-season wages and crucially
also an affordable release clause for a return to Europe in the near future,
but the Partenopei asked for an extra €5m, which irritated the Saudis and they
opted to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford instead.
Chelsea on the other hand opted to sign Jason Sancho as they
couldn't afford the huge sums to sign Osimhen.
Galatasaray fans were on the streets of Istanbul at 4 a.m. to welcome Victor Osimhen 😳
