Galatasaray Push Again for Osimhen After €60m Napoli Offer Rejected

Galatasaray are trying to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli again after a €60 million bid was rejected. Galatasaray have an agreement with the striker until 2028

According to a previous report, he signed a contract until June 2028 and they are negotiating with the Italian side for the transfer fee.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Galatasaray’s latest €60 million proposal for Victor Osimhen has been rejected. Napoli want €75 million

Napoli values Victor Osimhen at €75 million to part ways. Osimhen, who played the 2024-25 season on loan at Galatasaray, delivered an outstanding campaign with 37 goals and eight assists in 41 matches

Victor Osimhen scored 37 goals for Galatasaray last season. While the Nigerian has agreed on personal terms with the Turkish side, the clubs have yet to find common ground on the transfer fee and payment structure. Negotiations are ongoing as both clubs look for a breakthrough in the coming days.

OSIMHEN’S IMPACT AND THE CLUBS’ SITUATIONS

Osimhen’s loan spell in Turkey was a major success, helping Galatasaray secure the Turkish Super Lig title ahead of arch-rivals Fenerbahçe

Galatasaray won both the Turkish Super Lig and the Turkish Cup last season. His prolific scoring made him a fan favorite and cemented his value to the squad. As a result, Galatasaray desires to retain the Nigerian, but they face financial constraints preventing them from matching Napoli’s full asking price. Napoli, on the other hand, are determined to maximize their return for the 26-year-old, who has two years left on his contract after joining the club in 2020. The transfer saga comes after Galatasaray’s dominant domestic treble-winning campaign and Napoli’s disappointing Serie A showing, where they finished outside the Champions League places

Napoli won Serie A for the 2024-25 season.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Talks between the two clubs are set to continue, as Galatasaray search for ways to bridge the gap—possibly through bonuses or better payment terms.
