Galatasaray are reportedly devising a bold financial strategy involving Victor Osimhen’s potential move from Napoli, with plans to earn a record-breaking €40 million profit on the Nigerian striker, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Turkish giants are understood to be plotting a €60 million deal to sign Osimhen this summer, in what would be one of the most ambitious transfers in Super Lig history.
But the real intrigue lies in their long-term plan — selling the prolific forward to the Saudi Pro League within two years for a fee in the region of €100 million, according to Tgrt Haber.
Galatasaray plot stunning €40 million profit in bold Victor Osimhen transfer masterplan
According to the report, Galatasaray directors believe Osimhen, who has already scored 22 league goals and registered eight assists this season, can power them to domestic and European glory before his eventual big-money exit. His performances have lifted Galatasaray to the summit of the Super Lig, five points clear, and into the Turkish Cup final.
Galatasaray’s plan, however, hinges on the club winning the race to secure the permanent signing of Osimhen amidst interests from Saudi and English clubs.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is reportedly open to lowering Osimhen’s €75 million release clause to €65 million — but only for Saudi clubs, and only if the deal is done before June.
According to Italian and Turkish outlets, Saudi side Al Hilal are leading the race.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Manchester United continue to monitor the situation, although European clubs may not benefit from any clause reduction.
Despite not featuring in Napoli’s long-term plans, Osimhen remains a hot property, and Galatasaray hope to use his star power both on the pitch and at the negotiation table. The club also aims to offset his wages with UEFA Champions League revenue over the next two seasons, creating a financial cushion ahead of his projected departure.
The move — if executed — would not only break the Turkish transfer record but also underline Galatasaray’s ambition to rejoin Europe’s elite.
For now, all eyes remain on whether Osimhen is convinced by the Istanbul project and whether the club can beat European rivals to secure his signature.
