Nigerian international striker Victor Osimhen is on the verge of sealing a sensational return to Turkish giants Galatasaray, with all contractual documents reportedly signed ahead of his arrival in Istanbul on Wednesday.
Club sources confirmed that Osimhen’s medical examination is scheduled for Thursday, marking the final step in his highly anticipated transfer deal. The 26-year-old is expected to be unveiled by Galatasaray once the routine medicals are successfully completed.
Osimhen, who previously enjoyed a prolific stint in European football with Napoli in Italy, had been linked with several top clubs across Europe and the Middle East before opting for a return to the Turkish Super Lig. His move is seen as a major boost for Galatasaray’s attacking line-up ahead of the 2025/2026 season.
The return of the Nigerian forward, who remains one of Africa’s most valuable football exports, is already generating excitement among the club’s supporters, with many eager to see him don the yellow and red jersey once again.
Osimhen’s decision to rejoin Galatasaray also signals the club’s ambitious drive for continental success, as they prepare for upcoming UEFA competitions and the domestic title challenge.
