Record-breaking Move will be Difficult

Former Galatasaray vice-president, Abdurrahim Albayrak has admitted that replicating the club’s record-breaking move for Victor Osimhen will be a difficult task, despite the Turkish giants’ continued ambition to compete at the highest level in Europe.

After inspiring Galatasaray to a domestic double during the 2024-25 season, the Lions completed the biggest transfer in Turkish football history by signing the former African Footballer of the Year on a permanent deal in July 2025.

The move came despite strong interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League and several teams across Europe’s top five leagues.

Osimhen ended his collaboration with Napoli last summer after his 75 million euros release clause was activated by Galatasaray.
