Osimhen

Victor Osimhen is on the verge of completing a permanent return to Galatasaray after the Turkish champions reached an agreement with Napoli for the Nigerian striker’s services, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Galatasaray have agreed a €75m (£65m) deal with the Serie A club for the 26-year-old forward, who spent last season on loan at the Istanbul outfit.

The Turkish Super Lig champions will pay an initial €40m (£34m) upfront, with a further €35m (£30m) to be paid by 2026. The agreement also includes a clause preventing Galatasaray from selling Osimhen to any Italian club for the next two years, or face a penalty fee.

Osimhen enjoyed a prolific campaign during his loan spell at Galatasaray, netting 37 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions as the club secured the Turkish league title. Punch
