Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has officially joined Galatasaray from Napoli.

The 26-year-old moves to the Turkish giants on a permanent deal, signing a 4-year contract in the process.

“As part of the agreement, a net transfer fee of 75 million euros [R1.5 billion] will be paid to Napoli. Additionally, 10% of the profit from the player’s future sale will be paid to Napoli,” confirmed Galatasaray in a statement late Thursday.

“The player will receive a net annual guaranteed salary of 15 million euros [R312 million], a net loyalty bonus of 1 million euros [R20.8 million] per season, and 5 million euros [R104 million] per season for image rights,” added Galatasaray.

Last season, the CAF 2023 Player of the Year scored 37 goals in 41 games while on loan Galatasaray, prompting the Turks to pursue Osimhen for a permanent deal.
