Victor Osimhen deal during this summer transfer window. Galatasaray have submitted a formal offer to Napoli to secure the permanent signing of the Nigerian international striker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the Turkish giants are doing everything they can to land Osimhen and have made an official offer to Napoli for the Nigerian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Partenopei have already turned down the offer and are demanding the full amount of his release clause, set at \u20ac75 million. For his part, the Nigerian striker has already given the green light to a possible return to Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this new development, Daily Sun brings to you five key points about Victor Osimhen\u2019s potential permanent transfer to Galatasaray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Osimhen\u2019s desire to stay:<\/strong> Victor Osimhen has expressed a strong preference to remain with Galatasaray following a successful 2024\/25 loan spell from Napoli, where he scored 37 goals and provided 8 assists in 41 appearances, helping the club win the Turkish Super Lig and Turkish Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Galatasaray, including a \u20ac16 million-per-year contract for three years, with an option for an additional year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Transfer fee dispute:<\/strong> Galatasaray submitted an offer of \u20ac50 million plus \u20ac5 million in add-ons to Napoli, but Napoli are holding firm on Osimhen\u2019s \u20ac75 million release clause for non-Italian clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negotiations are ongoing, with Galatasaray hoping to secure a discount, potentially with the help of local sponsors in Turkey to fund the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Competition from other clubs:<\/strong> Despite interest from clubs like Al-Hilal (who were willing to pay the \u20ac75 million clause), Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal, Osimhen has prioritised Galatasaray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rejected a lucrative \u20ac45 million offer from Al-Hilal and turned down Manchester United due to their request to reduce his wage demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Impact on Galatasaray:<\/strong> Osimhen\u2019s potential permanent move is seen as a major coup for Turkish football, potentially reshaping the narrative of top African talents succeeding outside Europe\u2019s \u201cbig five\u201d leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His presence has already boosted Galatasaray\u2019s profile, with his loan spell breaking the club\u2019s jersey sales record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Concerns and challenges:<\/strong> Turkish football commentator Yusuf Kenan Celik has warned that Osimhen\u2019s signing could disrupt the dressing room balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, suppose no deal is finalised by mid-July. In that case, Osimhen may be required to return to Napoli for pre-season training under coach Antonio Conte, as Napoli are firm on not reintegrating him into the squad and prefer to sell him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
