Let me go — Osimhen tells Napoli to accept ₦134b offer from league winners
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is on his way out of Napoli and has reportedly informed the club to get a deal done as soon as possible.
Osimhen has been the talk of the transfer window, after multiple rejected bids from Saudi side Al Hilal, who were desperate to sign the 26-year-old ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Turkish side Galatasaray, where Osimhen spent last season on loan, now look poised to sign him on a permanent basis after submitting a bid to Napoli this week.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed the Nigerian has now asked Napoli to speed up an agreement with Galatasaray.

Romano tweeted: “Victor Osimhen has informed Napoli of his desire to get deal sealed with Galatasaray ASAP. Galatasaray will pay €75m as release clause value — but negotiating payment terms in 5 years, as exclusively revealed. Contract “ready since Sunday; until June 2028 plus option.”
Pulse Sports reported that the former Lille man has agreed to a 28 billion naira annual salary to join Galatasaray, pending agreement between clubs.
This will be a blow to the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal, who have been monitoring the situation as they look to solve their striking issues ahead of next season.
Osimhen scored 37 goals in 41 appearances for Galatasaray last season and built a strong relationship with the fans, who are believed to be excited for his return.
