VICTOR OSIMHEN SET FOR GALATASARAY MOVE, MEDICALS SCHEDULED IN ISTANBUL
Osimhen to Undergo Medicals as Galatasaray Move Nears Completion
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is set to complete a permanent move to Galatasaray, with medical tests scheduled to take place in Istanbul this week.
The Turkish champions have reportedly finalized a deal with Napoli, and Osimhen is expected to fly out on Wednesday for the final steps of the transfer. According to trusted football journalist Fabrizio Romano, all necessary documents have been counter-signed by both clubs.
“Victor Osimhen will land in Istanbul on Wednesday, all documents are counter-signed! Medical on Thursday for Osimhen, back to Galatasaray,” Romano posted on X.
The 27-year-old striker had an incredible loan spell with Galatasaray last season, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances—a performance that reignited his reputation across Europe and made him a fan favorite in Turkey.
Following his standout season, Galatasaray moved quickly to secure him on a permanent basis. With just the medical tests left, Osimhen is now on the verge of putting pen to paper and becoming an official player for the Turkish giants.
The former CAF Player of the Year is expected to play a key role in Galatasaray’s upcoming campaign as they look to defend their Turkish Super Lig title and make a deep run in European competitions.
Fans in Istanbul are already gearing up to welcome Osimhen with open arms—marking a new chapter in his already stellar career.
