Galatasaray paid €75.0m for Victor Osimhen. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 1st largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nicolò Zaniolo | Roma | €15.0m | 2022/23 |
| Bruma | Sporting | €13.0m | 2013/14 |
| Mauro Icardi | PSG | €10.0m | 2023/24 |
| Nordin Amrabat | Kayserispor | €8.6m | 2012/13 |
| Yusuf Demir | Rapid Vienna | €6.0m | 2022/23 |
| Ahmed Kutucu | Eyüpspor | €6.0m | 2024/25 |
A club's own precedent is the only fair yardstick for whether a fee is a departure for it. A number that looks enormous league-wide can be routine for one buyer, and a modest one can be a record for another.
