Galatasaray and Napoli have been engaged in protracted negotiations over the transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Napoli initially set a €75 million release clause for Osimhen, who has expressed a strong desire to join Galatasaray and rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi club Al Hilal. Galatasaray made multiple bids starting from €50 million, gradually increasing their offer to meet the €75 million release clause, but Napoli repeatedly rejected these offers due to payment terms, demanding a more immediate payment rather than installments spread over five years. After extensive discussions, Galatasaray agreed to pay the full €75 million release clause with a proposed payment plan of €40 million upfront and €35 million in installments. Napoli initially rejected this due to concerns over guarantees but later accepted bank guarantees and the payment plan. The agreement includes a contract with Osimhen until June 2028, with an option for extension. The transfer is expected to be finalized imminently, marking a record transfer fee for a Turkish club.
