Victor Osimhen will face a much stiffer task in the next Süper Lig season, as Galatasaray's biggest local rivals have made considerable roster additions.
The Nigerian striker has been essential to Galatasaray's supremacy since moving to Turkey, netting 59 goals in his first two seasons and helping the Istanbul club maintain its place at the top of Turkish football.
However, Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor have improved significantly this summer, raising the potential of a more competitive title fight in 2026/27.
Greenwood boosts Fenerbahçe.
Fenerbahçe have added Romelu Lukaku and Mason Greenwood to an already impressive attacking lineup.
Lukaku, who previously replaced Osimhen at Napoli, brings Fenerbahçe an experienced striker with a proven track record in front of goal. His physical power and ability to hold up play provide an alternative attacking option to Osimhen's speed and movement behind defensive lines.
Greenwood offers additional threat, as the English forward can create and score goals from both wide and central areas.
The acquisitions could make Fenerbahçe considerably more difficult to contain, reducing Galatasaray's edge in attacking quality.
The Istanbul club has also signed veteran players such as N'Golo Kante, Ederson, Nelson Semedo, Nathan Ake, Fred, and Marco Asensio, increasing the squad's depth and experience.
Trabzonspor has likely made the most notable addition by signing Mohamed Salah from Liverpool on a two-year contract.
The Egyptian's arrival has sparked widespread excitement among fans, who gathered in big numbers for his introduction following the club's third-place finish last season.
Salah might potentially create a dangerous alliance with Paul Onuachu. The Nigerian striker scored 22 league goals last season and may benefit from Salah's inventiveness, mobility, and ability to create opportunities.
That combination provides Trabzonspor with a credible offensive threat, and it might propel them into the title battle.
For Osimhen, the battle is no longer just about keeping his outstanding scoring record.
