Galatasaray has reaped a staggering ₦10.7 billion from merchandise sales featuring Victor Osimhen, clearly demonstrating the immense value he brings to the Turkish club.
The Super Eagles striker made headlines when Galatasaray secured his permanent transfer from Napoli for €75 million, establishing a new benchmark in Turkish football transactions.
Recent reports from the Turkish outlet Sporx reveal that the Osimhen merchandise line, launched by GS Stores this month, set an ambitious goal of 100,000 units sold. The “Solo il Gala” collection has already exceeded 30,000 units, raking in an impressive 300 million Turkish Lira.
This figure translates to approximately ₦10,784,088,233.00 (Ten Billion Seven Hundred Eighty-four Million Eighty-eight Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-three Naira).
In a powerful promotional campaign, the 26-year-old forward and his daughter showcased the product, underscoring its appeal. Despite being sidelined due to injury, Osimhen has chosen to concentrate on his recovery rather than sharing the video, illustrating his dedication and motivation to return to the pitch stronger than ever.
