Italian giants Napoli have issued a firm Monday deadline to Turkish champions Galatasaray to complete the transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
According to reports from Football Italia, both clubs have already agreed on the major terms of the transfer, including a clause preventing a return to Serie A and future percentage rights. However, the final paperwork remains pending, prompting Napoli to draw a hard line.
Osimhen’s Record-Breaking Loan Spell
After an explosive season on loan with Galatasaray — where Osimhen netted 37 goals and 8 assists in 41 appearances — the Turkish side has been pushing for a permanent deal.
Despite rejecting multiple offers previously, Napoli and Galatasaray have now reached an agreement on a €75 million package, with:
– €40 million upfront
– €35 million in instalments, due by June 2026
If finalized, it would be Galatasaray’s most expensive signing ever and one of the biggest transfers in Turkish football history.
Personal Terms Already Agreed
Sources close to the deal indicate that Osimhen is eager to remain in Istanbul, and personal terms have been settled since June, making the transfer primarily dependent on paperwork at this point.
What’s Next?
With Napoli setting a deadline for Monday, all eyes are now on Galatasaray to finalize the deal. Should the move go through, it would mark a new chapter for the 25-year-old Super Eagles star, who is widely regarded as one of the most prolific African strikers in Europe.
