Victor Osimhen will receive €6 million net seasonal salary at Galatasaray following his season-long loan to the Turkish Super League club from Napoli.
The Turkish club disclosed this on Wednesday in an official statement announcing the deal for the current reigning African Footballer of the year.
This means that the Super Eagles of Nigeria striker will be earning around €115,000 a week after tax during his one year stay in Turkey.
“An agreement has been reached with professional footballer Victor James Osimhen and his club SSCN Napoli SPA for the temporary transfer of the player free of charge.
“The football player will be paid a net seasonal salary of 6,000,000 euros for the 2024-2025 season. It is respectfully announced to the public,” a statement from Galatasaray read.
The move to Turkey ends weeks of transfer saga involving the Nigerian striker, Chelsea and Saudi club Al Ahli.
Negotiations between Napoli and Chelsea broke down late in the transfer window after the Saudi deal fell through, leaving Osimhen in a difficult position.
The player will be in Turkey until 2025 and will wear jersey number 45. The deal also leaves Napoli with an option to extend the player’s contract until 2027.
