Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward, has left Napoli after establishing himself as one of the most efficient goal scorers in Serie A history. His record ranks him third in terms of minutes-per-goal, surpassed only by football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo Nazário.
Osimhen, who recently moved to Turkish club Galatasaray on loan, made a lasting impact in Italy. During his time with Napoli, the 25-year-old scored a goal every 125 minutes, a remarkable achievement that places him just behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who averaged a goal every 104 minutes, and Ronaldo Nazário, who netted every 117 minutes.
After a summer transfer window filled with drama, including failed moves to the Saudi Pro League and Chelsea, Osimhen’s departure was sealed when Napoli excluded him from their Serie A squad.

The club had already brought in Romelu Lukaku as his replacement, leading to Osimhen’s loan to Galatasaray.
Osimhen was warmly received in Istanbul, with thousands of fans welcoming him upon his arrival. He leaves Serie A with a significant legacy, having scored 65 goals in 108 appearances and providing 16 assists.
His time in Italy marks the most prolific period of his career, surpassing his previous achievements of 13 goals in 27 Ligue 1 games with Lille and 12 goals in 25 matches in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League.
Additionally, Osimhen has been a standout performer for the Nigerian national team, scoring 21 goals in just 35 appearances for the Super Eagles.
