Excitement is sweeping across Turkey as Nigerian football sensation Victor Osimhen appears set to extend his stay at Galatasaray, with the release of his new jersey breaking all-time sales records at the club.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that the newly unveiled Galatasaray jersey bearing Osimhen’s name and five stars has witnessed an unprecedented demand among supporters, setting a new benchmark for merchandise sales in the club’s history.
The sudden surge in jersey sales follows increasing optimism among Galatasaray fans that the 25-year-old Nigerian striker will remain with the Istanbul-based club, despite weeks of uncertainty over a possible transfer to other European giants.
Supporters of the Turkish champions have taken to social media in droves to celebrate what they believe is Osimhen’s decision to stay.
Messages such as “Osimhen is here” and “He’s not going anywhere” have flooded timelines, reflecting the growing sentiment among fans.
According to Turkish sports publication Fotomac, Osimhen is expected to return to Istanbul shortly to finalize a new four-year contract with the club.
Sources within the club revealed that Galatasaray is planning a grand ceremony to unveil the renewed deal in front of thousands of fans.
Victor Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray in a high-profile move, had a stellar 2024/2025 season.
He scored 37 goals and registered eight assists in 41 matches, playing a pivotal role in guiding Galatasaray to win both the Turkish Super Lig and the Turkish Cup.
Before joining Galatasaray, Osimhen was a star at Italian Serie A side Napoli, where he helped the club win the 2022/23 Scudetto, their first in over three decades.
His consistent goal-scoring ability has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
The forward’s rumored new deal with Galatasaray comes after reports linked him with moves to clubs in the English Premier League, Saudi Arabia, and Germany.
However, his connection with the fans and the club’s ambitious project appear to have influenced his decision to stay.
Club officials believe Osimhen’s continued presence will further strengthen Galatasaray’s pursuit of domestic dominance and their quest for a deeper run in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
The jersey sales boom is seen not only as a commercial success but also as a reflection of Osimhen’s popularity and the supporters’ deep emotional investment in his future at the club.
With Osimhen poised to remain in Turkey, Galatasaray fans are hopeful that his goal-scoring prowess will lead them to even greater success in the upcoming football season.
