It is announced to the public, according to a Galatasaray statement. The Nigerian striker’s weeks-long transfer saga between Chelsea and Saudi club Al Ahli has come to an end with his move to Turkey.
After the Saudi deal collapsed, negotiations involving Napoli and Chelsea broke down late in the transfer window, which put Osimhen in a tricky situation. The player, who will wear jersey number 45, will reside in Turkey through 2025. Napoli has the option to extend the player’s contract through 2027 as part of the agreement.
