Among others, Juve was said to have shown interest, reported transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio. Manchester United and Saudi club Al-Hilal were also linked to the Nigerian.

But in the end, Galatasaray was able to assert itself. As the club just publicly announced, they have permanently signed the previously loaned-out Nigerian.

The Turkish club will pay a transfer fee of 75 million euros, according to the club’s own statements. In addition, a resale fee of 10 percent has been agreed upon.
