The story between Victor Osimhen and Napoli is now coming to an end. The loan to Galatasaray had already anticipated a separation that had not materialized earlier only due to the high economic demands of the Neapolitan club.
But now, a year after the failed attempts by Chelsea and Al Ahli, the Nigerian striker is ready to say goodbye in a definitive manner to the team that made him a champion.
The release clause is no longer an obstacle: reduced from 130 to 75 million euros for foreign clubs, it is considered sustainable by Galatasaray. According to what was reported by Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano, the Turkish club would have already communicated to Napoli its willingness to pay the requested amount, but proposing a payment in five installments.
Now the ball is in Napoli's court, which wants precise guarantees before accepting this payment formula, never considered until now. This is the last hurdle to overcome to reach the white smoke.
On the player's side, however, everything is already defined. Osimhen has given his okay to the transfer and has already expressed to the Neapolitan club his desire to tie himself to Galatasaray as soon as possible. After all, the proposal is breathtaking.
The Nigerian has been offered a four-year contract worth 16 million euros net per season, 5 million more than his current contract at Napoli. A figure that has contributed to pushing the striker towards the choice.
The Galatasaray delegation, composed of George Gardi and vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu, is preparing to intensify talks with Napoli today. The direct negotiations will take place in Italy to advance the talks.
