Victor Osimhen Tells Napoli He Wants Immediate Galatasaray Transfer

Victor Osimhen has told Napoli he wants to move to Galatasaray at once. The Turkish champions want to sign the Nigerian striker soon. Galatasaray is ready to pay the €75 million release clause but wants to pay in parts over five years.

Victor Osimhen‘s release clause is €75 million.

According to a previous report, Napoli is seeking to hold firm on this price.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Osimhen was on loan at Galatasaray last season. He scored 37 goals and assisted eight times in 41 matches. He now wants to join them permanently.

He has agreed to a contract until June 2028, with an option for one more year.

Galatasaray and Napoli are still discussing the move. Galatasaray’s €75 million offer matches the release clause, but they want to pay it over five years. Napoli is still thinking about the deal, and the final decision is theirs.

OSIMHEN’S IMPACT AND WHY THIS MOVE MATTERS

Osimhen’s return to Galatasaray would be a big boost for the Turkish champions. They won the Süper Lig last season.

They want to win again and do well in Europe. He was one of the best players outside the top-five European leagues last season. He reportedly turned down an offer from Al Hilal.

Victor Osimhen turned down an offer from Al Hilal despite a €75 million transfer fee agreement with Napoli.

That decision was partly because he believes in Galatasaray’s big plans. Napoli needs to sell Osimhen because new coach Antonio Conte doesn’t want him. Also, if he stays, he will earn €24 million net, which is a big financial burden.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR NAPOLI AND GALATASARAY?

Both clubs are trying to finalize the deal, especially the payment schedule for the release clause. If the deal happens, Osimhen will be Galatasaray’s star signing for the 2025-26 Süper Lig season and the UEFA Champions League group stage.
