Galatasaray became the first team in Turkish Süper Lig history to achieve 100+ points in the 2023/24 season, winning 33 of their 38 matches to retain their crown.

The Lions were pushed to the line by rivals Fenerbahce, whose tally of 99 points was the highest total without winning the league title.

Now under the stewardship of Jose Mourinho, Fenerbahce will be looking to go one better in the upcoming campaign and there's little margin for error as Galatasaray go in search of a record-extending 25th league triumph.

Their chances of a three-peat have been significantly bolstered with the acquisition of Osimhen, who had forged a reputation as one of Europe's most prolific goalscorers during Napoli's Scudetto-winning term of 2022/23.

Though the Gli Azzurri laboured to a 10th-placed finish last season, Osimhen still returned 15 goals in 25 appearances and speculation was rife as to whether the striker would depart Naples in the summer.

Osimhen outlined his intentions to leave, a stance that irked Antonio Conte and resulted in him being exiled from Napoli's first-team squad.

Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ahli were one of several interested parties and though they had an offer accepted for the Nigerian, they were unable to prise Osimhen away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Chelsea were in negotiations with Osimhen's representatives in the final hours of the transfer window but were rebuffed, with reports indicating the Premier League club fell considerably short of expectations with their contract offer.

Despite a move failing to materialise, Conte insisted Osimhen would remain sidelined and Galatasaray pounced on his availability, agreeing a loan deal until the end of the season.

The move reacquaints Osimhen with his former colleague Dries Mertens, who moved to RAMS Park upon the expiration of his contract with Napoli in 2022.
