Osimhen's move to Galatasaray followed a summer transfer saga that saw him fail to get his wish of leaving Napoli, with Chelsea and Saudi side Al Ahli all involved.
After he decided to leave the club but failed to get his wish, Osimhen was banished from Napoli for the season, leading to the decision to leave on loan.

Turkish giants Galatasaray have agreed to cover the Nigerian striker's whopping €12.8 million annual salary in its entirety for the duration of his one-year loan deal.
However, the club will pay a slightly lower figure, with Galatasaray reportedly committing to around €9-10 million of Osimhen's wages—a sum comparable to his current Napoli earnings and significantly more than Chelsea's proposed offer.

To facilitate this move, Osimhen has inked a contract extension with Napoli, ensuring the Partenopei can safeguard his market value, as revealed by Pulse Sports.
Notably, the new agreement includes a €75 million release clause, potentially paving the way for a future transfer.
