Victor Osimhen’s historic loan spell in Turkey is coming to a dramatic head, but Galatasaray are not ready to let go just yet.
The Turkish champions have reportedly proposed a radical offer to extend the Nigerian’s stay, a share in his own future transfer.
Having netted 35 goals and provided 7 assists in just 37 appearances across all competitions.
Osimhen has been the spearhead of Galatasaray’s title and cup double charge, and scored twice in the cup final.
Could a percentage of future earnings from his own transfer entice Victor Osimhen?
According to reports from Milliyet, Galatasaray are preparing to activate Osimhen’s €75 million buyout clause at Napoli. But that’s not all. To convince the striker to spend one more season in Istanbul, they’re offering him a 40% share of the profit from his eventual sale.
While Premier League interest has gone cold, Juventus have emerged as a potential suitor. However, Napoli are reluctant to sell the 26-year-old to a domestic rival, complicating that path.
Victor Osimhen’s debut season at Galatasaray:
▪️ 39 appearances
▪️ 35 goals
▪️ 8 assists
▪️ Turkish Cup winner 🏆
▪️ Turkish Super Lig ⏳ (1 more win needed)
▪️ League top scorer – 24 goals (3 ahead, 3 games to go)Should Osimhen be leading the CAF POTY race over Salah? 🔥🇳🇬 pic.twitter.com/ek63GMh6pW

The deal would see the 2023 CAF Men’s Player of the Year earn a chunk of any amount above €75 million that Galatasaray make from his sale next summer. It’s an unconventional move, borderline unprecedented but speaks to the desperation and ambition of the Turkish side to retain their talisman.
Osimhen’s stock remains sky-high after a turbulent but triumphant year. Injuries and controversy forced his exit from Naples, but his response in Turkey has been emphatic. With his lethal finishing and relentless running, he’s reminded Europe what he’s about.
Now, the ball is in his court. Will he take the deal and gamble on one more year in Istanbul or seek a bigger stage immediately.
