Victor Osimhen salary at Galatasaray and full contract details
Galatasaray have officially confirmed the signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli in a sensational €75 million deal that makes the Nigerian striker the most expensive signing in Turkish football history.
The 26-year-old Super Eagles star has signed a four-year contract with the Istanbul-based club, with an option to extend for one more year.
Prior to this deal, the record for the most expensive signing in Turkish football was held by Fenerbahçe, who signed Youssef En-Nesyri from Sevilla for €20 million in July 2024.
Galatasaray have now shattered that benchmark with a deal that includes not just a massive transfer fee but also a comprehensive financial structure.
According to reports from Footballtori , the deal is structured as follows:
- €75 million guaranteed transfer fee, with an additional €5 million in performance-related add-ons based on goals scored.
- Galatasaray will pay Napoli €40 million upfront in the first season and the remaining €30 million in the following season.
- Napoli also inserted a 10% sell-on clause, meaning they will earn 10% of any future transfer fee should Osimhen be sold again.
- Additionally, Galatasaray have agreed not to sell Osimhen to any Italian club within the next two years, a unique clause likely aimed at preventing a return to Serie A rivals.
