Turkish giants Galatasaray are preparing to turn the unveiling of Victor Osimhen into a financial masterstroke, with the event projected to generate around €5 million (₦8.5 billion) in combined ticket sales and merchandise revenue.
The Nigerian forward, signed from Napoli in a record €75 million deal, will be officially presented at RAMS Park on Saturday, August 2, ahead of a pre-season friendly clash against Lazio.
According to Turkish outlet Fotomac, the Istanbul-based club is banking on “Osimhen mania” to help offset a portion of the blockbuster transfer fee. The club will also unveil Leroy Sané at the same event.
Tickets for the double unveiling have been set at a premium, with the cheapest seats priced at 1,300 Turkish Lira (₦49,000). A full house is expected, as fans look forward to witnessing the arrival of one of Africa’s top football stars.
