Galatasaray Preparing to Reveal Osimhen and Leroy Sane During Friendly Match with Lazio at RAMS Park
Galatasaray Officially Unveil Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane
Victor Osimhen has completed his permanent move to Galatasaray from Napoli, joining Leroy Sane who arrived from Bayern Munich last month. The official unveiling of both players will take place before the pre-season clash with Lazio at 7 p.m. Nigeria time.
The transfer of Osimhen broke the Turkish transfer record, with a fee of €75 million. The deal is structured with €40 million paid upfront, and the remaining €35 million to be paid by the end of the 2025-26 season. Napoli will also receive 10% of any future profit from a subsequent sale.
Osimhen's impressive performances last season, where he scored an astonishing 37 goals and provided 8 assists in 41 matches across all competitions, contributed to Galatasaray winning the domestic double. His goalscoring ability will undoubtedly bolster Galatasaray's ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
The vice president of Galatasaray explained why the club paid a transfer record fee for Osimhen, stating, "We believe that Victor Osimhen is one of Europe's most sought-after forwards this summer, and his signing is a significant step towards achieving our goals this season."
Osimhen himself expressed gratitude to Napoli on social media after the deal, thanking them for his time there. During his loan at Galatasaray in 2024-25, he scored 37 goals in 41 appearances, having netted 76 goals in 133 appearances for Napoli between 2020 and 2024.
With the arrival of Osimhen and Sane, Galatasaray is aiming to make a strong impact in the upcoming season. Osimhen is expected to feature on the bench tonight against Lazio, eager to make his debut for his new club.
