Super Eagles ace celebrated Galatasaray move on social media.

Victor Osimhen posted on social media for the first time as a Galatasaray player, expressing his excitement about joining the Turkish champions. 

Osimhen joins Galatasaray

Pulse Sports reported that the Osimhen summer-long transfer saga came to an end thanks to a surprising intervention from Super Lig side Galatasaray. 

After the proposed move to Chelsea or Al Ahli fell through and the main European transfer window closed, the Cim-Bom capitalised on the unique Turkish market that closes later than the rest of the continent. They quickly reached an agreement with the Partenopei and Osimhen for a season-long loan deal, covering €9-10 million of his annual wages.

The 25-year-old has been unveiled by Napoli and was handed the number 45 jersey. It is believed that he will start as the main striker for Galatasaray until October when Mauro Icardi is expected to return from injury. From that point, they plan to pair both former Cappocannoiere winners up front. 

Osimhen speaks 

Osimhen tweeted the following on his social media account: “Super excited to be part of the Galatasaray family! 🦁 I can’t wait to give my all and make the most of this new journey with such an amazing group and the fans, Ready to create unforgettable memories together! Let’s go! @GalatasaraySK @Galatasaray.”
