1 / 2

Galatasaray vice president Abdullah Kavukcu credits Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, alongside Leroy Sané and Mauro Icardi, for boosting the club’s global appeal. Osimhen’s fanbase from Nigeria and beyond has helped fuel record-breaking jersey sales. After an impressive loan that secured a domestic double, Osimhen’s permanent transfer set a new Süper Lig record for the highest fee. Kavukcu highlighted in a recent interview that the trio leads the club’s top three jersey sellers and has become vital to Galatasaray’s brand recognition. Building on their influence, Galatasaray plans to take its merchandising arm public and launch a branded café franchise. Osimhen has also excelled on the pitch this season, scoring 19 goals and providing seven assists in 29 appearances.
