Victor Osimhen expresses excitement after Galatasaray move
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has taken to social media to celebrate his transfer to Turkish champions Galatasaray, marking his first post as a player for the Istanbul-based club.
After a long summer of transfer speculations, Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray was finalized, bringing an end to talks of a potential switch to Chelsea or Al Ahli.
The 25-year-old, who joins Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal from Napoli, expressed his excitement in a heartfelt message to his new club and fans. Osimhen shared, “Super excited to be part of the Galatasaray family! I can’t wait to give my all and make the most of this new journey with such an amazing group and the fans. Ready to create unforgettable memories together! Let’s go! @GalatasaraySK @Galatasaray.”
The Nigerian forward’s move became possible due to the extended Turkish transfer window, allowing Galatasaray to swoop in after the European window had shut. The deal sees Galatasaray covering €9-10 million of Osimhen’s wages, while he will wear the number 45 jersey for the reigning Super Lig champions.
Osimhen is expected to lead the attack for Galatasaray while their primary striker, Mauro Icardi, recovers from injury, with both prolific scorers set to partner up once Icardi returns in October. Fans have responded enthusiastically to Osimhen’s arrival, eagerly anticipating his impact as Galatasaray seeks domestic and European success.
This marks a new chapter for Osimhen, who continues to be one of the most sought-after forwards in European football. His passion and dedication to his new club will undoubtedly make him a fan favorite in Turkey.
