Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen has retained his value-worth as the highest signed player by any club in Turkey.
Despite Fenerbahçe completing her biggest transfers in the club’s history after signing English forward, Mason Greenwood from French club Olympique Marseille in a deal worth €39 million, he’s still far behind the Nigerian.
The Istanbul giants confirmed the transfer through Turkey’s Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), announcing that the 24-year-old had signed a four-year contract.
The club also revealed the financial details behind the agreement, making Greenwood the most expensive signing in Fenerbahçe’s history.
Despite the huge transfer fee, Victor Osimhen remains the most expensive player ever signed by a Turkish club. The Nigerian striker’s €75 million permanent move from Napoli to Galatasaray in July 2025 is still comfortably the biggest transfer in Süper Lig history.
Greenwood’s arrival is another sign that Turkish clubs are now willing to spend record amounts to compete both domestically and in European competitions, with Fenerbahçe hoping the English attacker can help them challenge Galatasaray for the league title and make a deep run in Europe.
According to the figures released by the club, the Turkish side will pay €39 million to the Ligue 1 club. The money will be paid in three equal instalments of €13 million over the next three years. Fenerbahçe will also cover the FIFA solidarity contribution linked to the transfer.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Greenwood will earn around €10 million net per season during his time in Turkey.
Reports from The Athletic also explained how the transfer money will be shared. Marseille will receive €24 million, while Greenwood’s former club Manchester United are set to collect €12.8 million because of the sell-on clause included when they sold him in 2024. Spanish club Getafe will receive around €3.2 million.
The move breaks Fenerbahçe’s previous transfer record of €28 million, which had been paid for midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.
Greenwood also becomes the second most expensive signing in Turkish football history, sitting behind only Osimhen’s record-breaking move to Galatasaray.
Although Greenwood’s transfer has rewritten Fenerbahçe’s history books, it has not replaced Victor Osimhen as Turkish football’s biggest-ever signing.
Galatasaray made history in July 2025 when they signed the Nigerian striker permanently from Napoli after activating the release clause in his contract following an unforgettable loan spell.
