Galatasaray are ready to break records to keep Victor Osimhen in Istanbul beyond this season.
The Super Eagles striker has been in top form since arriving on loan from Napoli after a proposed Chelsea move fell through.
With 28 goals in 32 matches, Osimhen has become a vital part of Galatasaray’s push for the Turkish Super Lig title and domestic cup.
“Victor has made a huge impact here,” a Galatasaray official told Cumhuriyet. “He’s not just scoring—he’s lifted the whole team.”
Now, the club wants to turn the loan into a permanent stay. According to Spanish source AS, via Turkish outlet Cumhuriyet, Galatasaray are preparing a €70 million transfer bid for Napoli.
On top of that, they’re offering Osimhen a three-year deal worth €15 million per year, plus bonuses.
If completed, the transfer would be the most expensive in Turkish football history.
“We believe in his talent and want him to stay long-term,” the official added. “He’s at the center of our future plans.”
However, Galatasaray will have to fend off strong interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and clubs in Saudi Arabia, all reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
Still, the Istanbul giants are confident. “This is a serious offer. We’re all in.”
