Osimhen : No permanent move, Napoli tells Galatasaray
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has firmly dismissed all speculation about Super Eagles’ permanent move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
In a recent statement, Manna pointed out that the Turkish Super Lig champions cannot meet the hefty €75 million buyout clause contained in Victor Osimhen’s contract, and further claimed that negotiations are effectively off the table.
Napoli’s sporting director stated: “Our door is closed to negotiations. Currently, Galatasaray does not have the financial capabilities to pay this significant amount.”
Manna also emphasized that although the fee is 75 million euros, it is worth noting that many clubs are showing interest in acquiring Osimhen and are willing to meet that financial demand.
The 25-year-old striker, who has been performing brilliantly since joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan in September, has made a remarkable impact on the pitch.
In just nine games across various competitions, Osimhen has scored an impressive eight goals and provided four assists, showcasing his talent and value to the Okan Buruk squad.
This strong performance has undoubtedly attracted attention, but Manna’s statements indicate that Napoli are not currently pursuing offers for the Nigeria international.
Galatasaray are planning a swap deal for Osimhen as they may not be able to meet the striker’s release clause.
