Pulse Sports reported that they sent a bid to the Italian champions, and per a recent update, the four times Scudetto winners have rebuffed the offer.

After weeks of attempting to convince the Nigerian striker to stay at the club following a successful loan spell, Galatasaray have finally reached an agreement on personal terms

As earlier reported, the Lions offered an annual salary of €16 million and have handed the Nigerian a three-year deal, contingent on reaching an agreement with Napoli on a transfer fee. 

The Naples-based club are insisting on Osimhen's €75 million release clause, a figure far from Galatasaray’s latest bid. However, Al Hilal, which are also pushing to sign the Nigerian, have informed Napoli that they had no problem matching the fee.
