Galatasaray Pushes for Osimhen as Napoli Stands Firm on Payment Structure

Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about Victor Osimhen’s future. A big transfer deal is close, but there are disagreements about payment. Galatasaray offered €40 million now and €35 million later, but Napoli wants different payment plans and strict assurances.

CRUCIAL TALKS OVER OSIMHEN’S FUTURE

Galatasaray is pushing hard to sign Victor Osimhen. He scored 37 goals and made 8 assists for Galatasaray during his loan season. Galatasaray’s formal offer is €75 million, with €40 million paid straight away and the rest in installments backed by bank guarantees. Napoli demands either full payment or stricter installment plans, causing a stalemate despite Galatasaray’s persistence.

A previous report confirmed that Victor Osimhen scored 37 goals and provided 8 assists for Galatasaray during his loan season.

CONTEXT: STAR STRIKER’S VALUE SOARS

Osimhen was Galatasaray’s main attacking force in their recent Super Lig-winning campaign. This makes him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. Napoli’s strict terms are driven by Osimhen’s fantastic season and high release clause. There is also interest from other clubs willing to meet their financial demands more quickly. Napoli’s new coach, Antonio Conte, seems happy to let Osimhen leave, focusing on other attacking options. Napoli is eager for a solution that offers financial stability.

A previous report noted that Galatasaray must meet Napoli’s demand for the €75 million release clause for Victor Osimhen.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: DEADLOCK OR BREAKTHROUGH?

Galatasaray’s directors remain in Italy, unwilling to leave without Osimhen. Both sides are expected to meet again soon to try to fix the payment issues. Galatasaray’s next match is the Turkish Super Cup clash against Trabzonspor. The club starts the season as league champions and wants to bolster their squad for a title defense. Napoli guaranteed Champions League qualification as they won the Serie A but the striker is not part of their plans for next season. They want to overhaul their team before the season begins. The outcome of these discussions could change the attacking options for both teams in the coming weeks.

A previous report confirmed that Galatasaray won the Turkish Super Lig title last season.
