Consequently, supporters poured into the club’s social media accounts and online store, excitedly posting images of the new jersey with the tagline, “Osimhen is here.”
The storm of buzz surrounding Victor Osimhen comes at a crucial time because his loan from Napoli terminates at exactly 11:59 pm today, 30th of June.
Therefore, on July 1 he officially returns to Napoli unless both sides agree otherwise.
According to Fotomac, they’ve already struck a verbal agreement, and Osimhen should land in Istanbul soon to sign a new four-year deal.
To celebrate, Galatasaray is planning a special unveiling ceremony—further proof of how crucial the Nigerian star is to their plans.
Last season, the success of GS was driven by Victor Osimhen.
The Super Eagles striker recorded 37 goals and eight assists in 41 games, helping the team win the domestic cup and the Turkish Super Lig.
Consequently, his electric performances made him a fan favourite and one of the squad’s most influential players.
Despite bids from Chelsea, Real Madrid and Juventus and a staggering €45 million offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal, Osimhen hasn’t confirmed his next move.
Moreso, he still hasn’t answered Galatasaray’s €26 million proposal.

Football Italia reports that Napoli has already called him back for medical checks ahead of pre-season training on July 14.
Thus, the only way for him to avoid returning to Italy would be to finalize a switch before then.
Galatasaray’s choice to drop the Victor Osimhen jersey before any contract was sealed now looks like a stroke of genius.
According to Fotomac, the move shattered the club’s shirt-sales record, with millions of fans showing their faith in Osimhen’s future in yellow and red.
Meanwhile, insiders say the board is growing restless over the wait. Nonetheless, Turkish analyst Ugur Karakullukçu urges patience:
“Talks are going positively about Osimhen. He could not get to the point he wanted with European teams… You can wait for Osimhen, there is no problem with that,” – he told GS Gazete.
Victor Osimhen has already left a lasting impression on Turkish football, regardless of whether he stays or departs.
