According to reports in Turkey, the club managed to offset a significant portion of the financial package tied to Osimhen through sponsorship agreements, advertising campaigns and other commercial projects connected to the striker’s popularity.
Gala rakes €15m from VIP boxes sales for Osimhen
One of the biggest successes reportedly came through the club’s VIP box campaign launched under the slogan “Solo Il Gala” meaning “Galatasaray only.”
The initiative generated massive interest among supporters and corporate buyers during the renovation and resale phase of the club’s premium boxes.
Galatasaray are said to have increased prices on selected boxes while also selling renovated VIP suites, ultimately generating around €15 million in revenue.
The club reportedly believes the commercial impact of Osimhen’s presence extends beyond ticket sales, with several sponsorship agreements also nearing completion.
