According to reports from Italy, Victor Osimhen has expressed his desire to continue his career with Galatasaray. The Napoli striker, who spent the previous season on loan with the Turkish club, has reportedly declined a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, preferring to remain in Turkey.
The primary obstacle now lies in reaching an agreement between Galatasaray and Napoli regarding the transfer fee. Osimhen`s contract includes a €75 million release clause for non-Italian clubs, which Napoli insists must be met for the transfer to proceed.
Interestingly, Turkish companies are reportedly prepared to contribute to the deal through sponsorships, potentially covering a significant portion of the release clause. This development could expedite Galatasaray`s formal offer to Napoli, putting pressure on other interested clubs to act swiftly.
With Osimhen`s clear preference for Galatasaray and the potential financial backing from sponsors, it seems increasingly likely that the Nigerian forward could soon make his move to Turkey permanent. The coming days will be crucial as negotiations unfold and other clubs potentially enter the fray.
