Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has become the most expensive player in Turkish football history.

Galatasaray finally unveiled Osimhen on Wednesday night in front of thousands of supporters.

The 26-year-old off-season on loan from Napoli, has now signed a permanent contract with the Istanbul club.

Galatasaray had to trigger his €75 million release clause with the Serie A side to complete the transfer.

This fee makes Osimhen the costliest footballer to ever play in Turkey.

He is well ahead of Youssef En-Nesryi, who cost Fenerbahce €19.5m.

The next three players all played for Galatasaray: Gabriel Sara (€18m), Mario Jardel (€17m), and Nicolo Zaniolo (€15m).
