Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will undergo his Galatasaray medical on Wednesday ahead of his much-anticipated return to the Turkish champions, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bold Sports reports.

The move comes after Galatasaray and Napoli reached a full agreement, with all paperwork signed. Osimhen has now been cleared to travel and finalise the transfer following lengthy negotiations between the two clubs.

The Nigerian International also hinted at his departure on social media, sharing a video on his Instagram story showing him at the airport before boarding a private jet bound for Istanbul.

As revealed ten days ago, Galatasaray will pay an initial €40 million to Napoli, with a further €35 million due next year, bringing the total transfer fee to €75 million.

As part of the terms, Napoli have secured a 10% sell-on clause, while a separate agreement prohibits Osimhen from joining any Serie A club—particularly Juventus—for the next two years.

The 26-year-old is returning to a familiar environment, having enjoyed a prolific loan spell at Galatasaray where he netted 37 goals and provided seven assists. His performances earned him the Golden Boot, Goal of the Season, and Player of the Season awards.

Osimhen also played a pivotal role in Galatasaray’s domestic double last season, firing them to a third straight Super Lig title and scoring twice in the Turkish Cup final win over Trabzonspor.
