Osimhen has netted an impressive 28 goals and provided five assists in just 32 matches across all competitions, instantly becoming a fan favourite and a vital part of Okan Buruk’s title-chasing squad.
Recent reports have disclosed that the Turkish giants have tabled a record-breaking deal to convince the Super Eagles forward to reject interest from top Premier League clubs.
Galatasaray’s record-breaking offer for Osimhen
According to Spanish outlet AS per Cumhuriyet, Galatasaray are willing to pay Napoli a record €70 million transfer price and grant Osimhen a three-year contract for €15 million net every season, plus performance bonuses.
This would make the 26-year-old Nigerian striker the most expensive and highest-paid player in the club’s history, surpassing even their iconic signings of the past like Mauro Icardi.
The Turkish club’s hierarchy is confident that the emotional bond Osimhen has formed with the fans and his on-pitch success could persuade him to remain in Istanbul.
Premier League giants circle around Osimhen
Despite Galatasaray’s ambitious bid, the Premier League remains an attractive option for Osimhen, with several top English clubs eyeing a summer move.
Teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool have all been strongly linked with the striker ahead of the summer transfer window.

However, Osimhen’s wage demands, reportedly around £9.4 million per year after tax, per Daily Mirror, have already cooled the interest of some suitors, making Galatasaray’s bold offer even more significant.
Osimhen yet to decide on future
With the season nearing its end and Galatasaray on the verge of clinching another Super Lig title, Osimhen is expected to disclose his future plans in April.
For now, the Super Eagles striker remains focused on winning silverware, but Galatasaray’s historic offer has certainly added a twist to what promises to be one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer.
