Istanbul, Turkey | June 15, 2025
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly outlined key conditions to Turkish giants Galatasaray S.K. before considering a transfer to the club ahead of the 2025/2026 season.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Osimhen, currently with Serie A side Napoli, is open to a move but has insisted on specific demands, including a substantial salary package, guaranteed UEFA Champions League football, and a defined role as the club’s attacking focal point.
The Nigerian international, who netted 17 goals for Napoli last season despite injury setbacks, is said to be weighing offers from multiple European clubs. Galatasaray, fresh off their Turkish Super Lig triumph, are keen to bolster their squad with world-class talent for a stronger continental push.
Osimhen’s representatives have reportedly told the Istanbul-based club that the striker will only sign if:
He is offered a salary close to his current earnings in Italy;
The club strengthens other key positions to guarantee European competitiveness;
He is assured regular playing time and leadership in the squad’s attack.
Galatasaray officials have not confirmed the details publicly but insiders say discussions are ongoing.
The 25-year-old has a release clause reportedly around €120 million, although Napoli could be open to negotiation if personal terms are met and a suitable bid is tabled.
Should the deal materialise, Osimhen would become one of the most high-profile signings in Turkish football history.
