Victor Osimhen will don the number 45 shirt at Galatasaray, as reported today. The Nigerian striker, aged 25, has joined the Turkish club on loan from Napoli.
Loan Deal Secured
Galatasaray finalised the loan agreement for Osimhen on 2 September 2024, following negotiations with Napoli. This move comes after Napoli confirmed his exclusion from their squad on 31 August 2024, with Romelu Lukaku taking over the number 9 shirt.
Background and Style of Play
Osimhen, known for his pace and clinical finishing, previously played for Lille before joining Napoli. His dynamic style and ability to score from various positions on the pitch have made him a valuable asset in European football.
Recent Developments
Prior to his loan to Galatasaray, Napoli and Al Ahli had agreed on an €80 million deal for Osimhen, but the transfer did not materialise. His exclusion from Napoli’s squad was a significant development, leading to his eventual move to the Turkish side.
This latest update marks a new chapter for Osimhen as he aims to make an impact in the Turkish Süper Lig.
