Turkish club Galatasaray has made the permanent signing of Nigerian star Victor Osimhen official, bringing him in from Napoli for a record-breaking €75 million, making him the most expensive signing in Turkish league history.Osimhen spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, where he shone brightly by netting 37 goals in 41 matches across all competitions. His stellar performance was instrumental in securing both the league and cup titles for his side.According to "Transfermarkt", the 26-year-old Osimhen now ranks third among the priciest African footballers to ever change clubs, level with Omar Marmoush, who moved from Frankfurt to Manchester City, and Bryan Mbeumo, who switched from Brentford to Manchester United.
