Man Utd, PSG on Alert as Napoli Reject £47.3M Bid for 37-Goal Scorer | OneFootball

PSG had been monitoring Victor Osimhen for over a year, but it now appears the transfer saga is ending without either PSG or Manchester United securing the Nigerian striker.

According to a previous report from GiveMeSport, Manchester United had grown increasingly concerned about PSG’s pursuit, as the French club had been seen as the frontrunner to sign him. PSG were reportedly prepared to trigger Osimhen’s £63 million release clause and meet his wage demands. However, that move never materialized.

Corriere dello Sport recently reported that Osimhen is now keen to stay at Galatasaray. The Turkish club went all-in to keep him, offering a €16 million annual salary—an offer the striker has since accepted.

It’s now up to Galatasaray to reach an agreement with Napoli, which is holding firm on the €75 million release clause and has no intention of lowering the price.

Sky Italy reports that Napoli have turned down Galatasaray’s £47.3 million bid for Osimhen, who scored 37 total goals for the Turkish club last season. Moreover, the Serie A club remain firm on the striker’s €75 million release clause.

This update follows a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Monday, stating that Galatasaray have made an opening offer of €50 million plus €5 million in add-ons for Osimhen. However, Napoli are holding out for a higher fee.

According to Romano, Osimhen is open to a return to Galatasaray and has already agreed to personal terms on a deal running through June 2028. The transfer now hinges on ongoing negotiations between the clubs.
