This move comes after a summer of intense speculation and a transfer saga that saw Osimhen linked with several high-profile clubs.
Osimhen's journey to Galatasaray was far from straightforward. The striker had been at the centre of transfer rumours throughout the summer, with Premier League club Chelsea and Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli both expressing strong interest in securing his services.

However, despite the player's apparent desire to leave Napoli, a move to either of these clubs failed to materialise.
The Nigerian’s shock arrival at Galatasaray represents a significant coup for the Turkish Super Lig side. Osimhen's goal-scoring prowess and playing style are expected to bolster Galatasaray's attacking options as they compete both domestically and in European competitions.
In a heartwarming twist to the story, Osimhen's arrival at Galatasaray has reunited him with former Napoli teammate Dries Mertens.
The Turkish club took to social media to share pictures of the two players together, captioning the post with "They reunited in Galatasaray!"
)
This reunion is likely to be beneficial for Osimhen as he adapts to his new surroundings. Mertens, who spent a significant part of his career at Napoli before moving to Galatasaray, could play a crucial role in helping Osimhen settle into the team and the Turkish league.
Osimhen joins Galatasaray on the back of a successful international break with the Super Eagles, where he continued to demonstrate his goal-scoring abilities. This form will undoubtedly have Galatasaray fans excited about what he can bring to their team.
With the combination of Osimhen's talent and the familiar presence of Mertens, Galatasaray will be hoping that this new signing can help propel them to success both in the Super Lig and on the European stage.
