The future of Victor Osimhen is split between several clubs but Galatasaray is doing everything possible to bring the Napoli striker back to Turkey.
But nothing is certain because Napoli is standing firm and has a monstrous offer from Al-Hilal. Osimhen keeps the market in suspense and Napoli waits... for the right offer.
Victor Osimhen has accepted Galatasaray's personal offer: agreement reached until June 2028. The Nigerian striker has reiterated his yes to the Turkish club, but the negotiation is now in the hands of Napoli and Galatasaray.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli has rejected a formal offer of 60 million euros for Osimhen. The club's "No" is also reported by Fabrizio Romano who however provides different figures: 50 million + 5 bonus, but the substance does not change because Napoli wants the 75 million of the clause.
In the meantime, Al Hilal remains in the race: it is ready to pay the 75 million euro clause, but has not yet reached an agreement with the player. The ball now passes to the Neapolitan club and Galatasaray, who will have to bridge the gap to close the operation.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Osimhen has told Galatasaray he wants to stay. He has been doing well in Turkey and the financial agreement is close: we are talking about 12 million net per season.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Al Hilal has already delivered a monstrous offer to Osimhen, with a practically unbeatable salary: over 35 million net per season. Yet, the player has said no.
The reason? He wants to stay in Europe and play "in the football that matters". A counter-current choice that baffles, but that shows his priorities: competition and prestige before money.
Juve, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, has a very specific plan: wait for the clause to expire to avoid paying the 75 million. Osimhen has already given his availability.
From July 15 onwards, the Bianconeri hope to negotiate at lower figures. But will the player's interest be enough to convince De Laurentiis?
Fabrizio Romano is categorical: no reinstatement in the squad, Napoli wants to sell Osimhen. The operation is essential to unlock the incoming market. De Laurentiis' priority? Collect at least as much as provided by the clause.
And in the meantime, he is looking for alternatives in attack: Darwin Nunez is a dream, but the negotiation remains slow and complicated, with Lorenzo Lucca of Udinese who in recent days has overtaken the Uruguayan striker in the hierarchy of preferences for the forward move of the Neapolitan club.
