Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is set to join Turkish giants Galatasaray on a loan deal for the upcoming season.
The 23-year-old forward, currently with Napoli in Italy’s Serie A, has reportedly agreed to the move as he seeks more playing time and experience.
Osimhen, known for his speed and clinical finishing, has been a crucial player for Napoli since joining the club in 2020.
However, with increased competition for starting positions at Napoli, the Nigerian international appears to have opted for a temporary move to secure more regular minutes on the pitch.
Galatasaray, eager to strengthen their attacking lineup, quickly seized the opportunity to sign Osimhen.
The Turkish Super Lig side is hopeful that the addition of the prolific forward will bolster their chances of competing for both domestic and European titles.
While the specifics of the loan deal, including its duration and any potential buyout clauses, have not yet been disclosed, the move follows unsuccessful transfer attempts by Napoli to send Osimhen to both Chelsea and a Saudi Arabian club before the transfer deadline.
Further updates on the details of this developing story are expected soon.
