The deal, valued at €75 million, makes Osimhen the most expensive player ever acquired by a Turkish club.

The Istanbul-based Super Lig champions announced the agreement for a four-year contract, which will commence at the start of the 2025-2026 season.

This signing shatters the previous transfer record of €20 million, which was paid by rivals Fenerbahce for Youssef En-Nesyri in July of the previous year.

Under the terms of the agreement, the 26-year-old forward will receive a net guaranteed salary of €15 million per season, along with a net loyalty bonus of €1 million annually.

The contract also includes an additional €5 million for image rights, granting the club permission to use Osimhen’s likeness for branding and promotional purposes.

Both clubs confirmed that Napoli will receive 10% of any future transfer fee if Galatasaray decides to sell the striker.
