Galatasaray awaits Nigerian’s final consent for transfer
Galatasaray close to agreement with Napoli about forward rental Victor Osimhen.
The clubs are discussing a loan deal for the Nigerian until the end of the 2024/25 season, with the player’s entire salary to be covered by Galatasaray. The Turkish club is currently awaiting Osimhen’s final consent for the transfer.
Earlier it was reported that Napoli excluded Osimhen from the squad for the season, and the team’s head coach Antonio Conte said that “those who left the project will remain outside the project.”
At the same time, the Nigerian will no longer be able to move to a top championship – the summer transfer window in Italy, Spain, England, Germany and France is officially closed. Chelsea were keen on Osimhen, but the clubs failed to reach an agreement. However, this did not stop the Partenopei from acquiring Romelu Lukaku from the London club.
Napoli had a preliminary agreement to transfer Osimhen to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli for a total of 75-80 million euros, but the deal fell through after the Neapolitans raised their price for the Nigerian.
Osimhen scored 17 goals and made four assists in 32 games for the Napoli team in the 2023/24 season.
Galatasaray failed to reach the Champions League group stage, losing to Young Boys in the qualifying playoffs. Okan Buruk’s team started the Turkish championship with three wins in three matches.
