Galatasaray's Osimhen Boosts Global Merchandise Sales

Abdullah Kavukcu, the vice president of Galatasaray, stated that the club's global appeal has been enhanced by the presence of players such as Victor Osimhen, Leroy Sané, and Mauro Icardi, who rank among the top three jersey sellers. Osimhen, a Nigerian forward, attracted considerable interest from Nigerian fans during his successful loan period last season, contributing to the club's domestic double victory.

He made a permanent transfer to Galatasaray last summer, marking the highest transfer fee in the history of the Turkish Super Lig. Kavukcu emphasized Osimhen's influence on merchandise sales and the club's brand recognition.

The club is considering establishing its own café franchise chain as part of a comprehensive brand initiative aimed at ranking among the top 10 clubs globally in merchandise. Osimhen recorded 19 goals and seven assists in 29 matches across all competitions this season, further solidifying his status as a significant asset for the club.
