November 06: In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray defeated Ajax 3-0, and Nigerian striker Osimhen scored a hat trick.

After this battle, Osimhen scored 6 goals in 3 games in the Champions League and topped the Champions League scorer list, beating the three top strikers Kane, Haaland and Mbappe. Osimhen missed his first Champions League game due to injury, and Galatasaray lost 1-5 to Frankfurt. However, after the player returned, he led the team to three consecutive victories, which also included the 1-0 Liverpool game, in which Osimhen scored the winning goal. Galatasaray currently ranks 9th in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old Osimhen joined Galatasaray permanently this summer. He was originally favored by many giants and could play in major leagues such as the Premier League and La Liga. However, the player's salary was too high, which led to the failure of the transfer. Chelsea was one of the cases where the salary was dissuaded.

In the end, Galatasaray spent a lot of money to buy him for a transfer fee of 75 million euros. In the contract, Osimhen will receive a net fixed annual salary of 15 million euros per season, a net loyalty bonus of 1 million euros and an image rights fee of 5 million euros.
