Galatasaray set to Seize Opportunity to Sign Osimhen on Loan

  • Victor Osimhen is set to join Galatasaray on loan from Napoli until end of season.
  • Galatasaray agree to pay Osimhen's full salary as Turkish club looks to secure the Nigerian striker's services.

Napoli's outcast Victor Osimhen is poised to join Galatasaray on loan, marking a significant shift in his tumultuous summer. The Nigerian striker, once a prized asset for Napoli, found himself at odds with the club's hierarchy and omitted from the squad.

With Mauro Icardi's injury spurring Galatasaray into action, the Turkish club has swiftly moved to secure Osimhen's services. According to transfer expert and Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, The loan deal, set to last until the end of the season, will see Galatasaray shoulder Osimhen's substantial salary.

Osimhen's potential journey to Istanbul has been marked by twists and turns. Initially linked to PSG and Chelsea, the Nigerian's proposed moves ultimately stalled. A lucrative offer from Al Ahli also failed to materialize, leaving Osimhen's future uncertain.

However, Galatasaray's interest has provided a lifeline for the striker. With Aurelio De Laurentiis reportedly approving the loan move, Osimhen is set to reunite with former Napoli teammate Dries Mertens in Istanbul.

The Turkish club's pursuit of Osimhen is a calculated move, driven by Icardi's injury and the need for a proven goalscorer. Once Icardi returns, Osimhen is expected to form a potent partnership with the Argentine striker in an ambitious 3-5-2 formation.

As the transfer window in Turkey remains open until September 13, the Turkish giants look well-positioned to complete the deal.
