Last summer, Fenerbahce chose to invest in Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesyri from Sevilla, despite having a chance to secure Osimhen on a loan deal.

Galatasaray strategically signed Osimhen, agreeing to his financial requirements, a move that has since demonstrated its brilliance.

Safi's previous frustration has seemingly transformed into a strong desire to acquire the Napoli striker, with a loan move being a potential target for the upcoming season.

Safi is pressing fellow board members to quickly pursue the Super Eagles star. He believes the player's signing would enable the club to compete financially with Galatasaray.

Securing Osimhen from their main rivals will be a significant challenge, with Galatasaray also working to finalise a deal for the Nigerian international.
