Joy for Osimhen as Galatasaray reportedly agree to Napoli’s demands

Victor Osimhen’s long-awaited permanent transfer to Galatasaray is now closer than ever, as the Turkish giants have reportedly agreed to meet Napoli’s financial demands.

After weeks of tense back-and-forth, Football Italia reports that Galatasaray will send a formal offer that satisfies all the key conditions of the €75 million deal.

Despite Osimhen’s release clause expiring, Napoli refused to budge from their €75 million valuation. The sticking point was not just the amount, but the payment structure.

Napoli demanded the full fee to be delivered within 12 months and insisted on a significant portion, nearly €50 million, to be paid upfront.

Previous proposals from Galatasaray had fallen short of these demands, offering staggered installments that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis found unacceptable.

However, following a direct call between club executives, Galatasaray reportedly assured Napoli that a new formal offer, matching both the amount and the payment conditions, will be submitted by tomorrow.

The agreement would mean Napoli receives the full sum by July 2026, aligning with the Italian club’s financial planning.

For Osimhen, this development marks a turning point in what has been a long and frustrating transfer saga.

The Nigerian forward spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, where he quickly became a fan favourite and publicly expressed his desire to stay in Istanbul permanently. With Galatasaray now aligning with Napoli’s terms, Osimhen is finally set to complete the move he has been pushing for.

It is a major win for the 26-year-old, who is eager to continue his career in the UEFA Champions League and build on his successful stint in Turkey.
