Galatasaray propose player exchange to Napoli for Osimhen discount

According to reports in Turkey, Galatasaray will offer cash plus Davinson Sanchez, Baris Alper Yilmaz or Yunus Akgun to purchase Victor Osimhen permanently from Napoli.

The striker made the move to Turkey on loan on September 4 after the potential deadline day transfers to Chelsea and the Saudi Pro League fell apart.

It was meant to be a temporary situation to ensure he did not spend months in the stands, but with eight goals and four assists in nine games, Galatasaray want to make it permanent.

Osimhen too expensive for Galatasaray

The release clause remains at €120m, although that will drop to €80m if a sale has not been agreed by June 2025.

According to Turkish news Milliyet, Galatasaray are planning to offer players as part of a deal to lower the cost of the operation.

Among the names that could be offered in exchange are Davinson Sanchez – who could reunite with former Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte at Napoli – Baris Alper Yilmaz and Yunus Akgun.
