Victor Osimhen deal stalls despite Galatasaray ready to match Napoli’s €75m asking price | OneFootball

Galatasaray have agreed to meet Napoli’s €75 million release clause for Victor Osimhen.

With personal terms already agreed with the 26-year-old, a transfer was expected to be completed soon.

But journalist Santi Aouna reports that Napoli have turned down Galatasaray’s big offer as they are not happy with the multiple payment terms.

The Blues demanded bank guarantees and one immediate cash payment, which the Turkish outfit are not able to present.

Osimhen enjoyed an excellent loan spell at Galatasaray in 2024-25, bagging 37 goals and seven assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.

His goals helped the Lions win the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup, endearing him to the supporters and club management.

Okan Buruk’s side want to sign him on a permanent contract and are ready to pay his enormous release clause.

But they have hit a big stumbling block over payment terms, putting the deal in danger of falling apart.

Osimhen is an elite striker who is highly rated for his pace, strength and goalscoring ability.

Since joining Napoli in 2020, he has scored 76 goals in 133 matches, powering them to the Serie A title in 2022-23.

His performances have seen him linked with some of the top European clubs, including Manchester United.

If a move to Turkey fails, the Red Devils could reignite their interest in Osimhen.

United are in the market for a striker after underwhelming displays from Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

They view Osimhen as an excellent option but are not ready to meet his enormous wage demands.
