Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been rewarded with a special bonus of 1.5 million Turkish Lira (approximately N72 million) by Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek, following the team’s impressive 3-1 victory over Fenerbahce in the Intercontinental Derby, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, played a crucial role in Galatasaray’s win, registering an assist in the match. His skillful chest control in the box allowed Dries Mertens to tap the ball past Fenerbahce goalkeeper Livakovic, securing Galatasaray’s second goal.
This bonus is a testament to Osimhen’s instant impact at Galatasaray. Despite not scoring in his first two games, the Nigerian international has quickly become a key player in the team’s attack.

Osimhen’s impressive performance has sparked excitement among Galatasaray fans, and the bonus is a well-deserved recognition of his contributions.
The Nigerian striker will look to continue his fine form when Galatasaray faces PAOK in the Europa League on September 25. Fans eagerly anticipate his first goal in Galatasaray colors.
Osimhen’s success at Galatasaray is a significant boost to his career, and this special bonus demonstrates the team’s commitment to rewarding excellence.
With Osimhen leading the charge, Galatasaray aims to build momentum and make a strong push in both domestic and European competitions.
