On Monday, a large crowd of Galatasaray fans gathered at Istanbul Airport in Turkey to enthusiastically welcome Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen.
Despite his arrival at 3:30 a.m., Osimhen was greeted with cheers and chants from the excited supporters. The footballer appeared delighted as fans sang his name, making it a memorable moment.
This warm reception marked the start of Osimhen’s loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray, a deal finalized after the closure of the European transfer window.
The Turkish club will pay his €10 million salary, with reports indicating they will contribute €8.8 million, and there will be a break clause in January for the top clubs.
Osimhen’s arrival was eagerly awaited, with fans staying up all night to catch a sight of him.
The 25-year-old Nigerian forward is scheduled for medical tests on Tuesday morning ahead of joining Galatasaray’s Europa League squad.
