Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has shed light on how the club is financing Victor Osimhen’s €75 million transfer from Napoli, revealing that part of the payment will be supported through a sponsorship deal with Pasifik Holding.
The Turkish champions completed Osimhen’s signing last summer for a club-record €75 million, to be paid in three instalments. They have already settled the first €40 million, with the remaining €35 million spread over two payments — a figure that’s four times their previous transfer record of €18 million for Gabriel Sara.
Speaking at a promotional event for Galatasaray’s shirt sponsor Pasifik Holding, Özbek explained how the partnership is contributing directly to the Osimhen deal.
“Pasifik Holding and Galatasaray are in constant discussions to elevate our relationship. We’re collaborating on infrastructure projects in Kemerburgaz,” he said, per NTV Spor.
“We’ve also begun discussions on the Next Level Kemer project, where our footballers can invest in real estate under favourable conditions. Pasifik Holding will film a commercial featuring Victor Osimhen for the project, and as stated in our contract, Next Level will contribute about €2 million to this production.”
The arrangement highlights how Galatasaray are leveraging commercial partnerships to fund high-profile transfers. Reports from Turkey suggest the club is also exploring additional sponsorship avenues to support future payments to Napoli.
