Turkish giants Galatasaray and Italian side Napoli have entered the final stage of negotiations for the transfer of Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen.
Sources confirm that positive talks between both clubs were held today, with the deal nearing completion and only a few minor details left to finalise.
Galatasaray are reportedly set to pay €40 million up front, with an additional €35 million due by the end of 2026 — bringing the total package to €75 million. It would represent a historic signing for the Turkish champions and one of the most lucrative outgoing transfers in Napoli’s history.
The Nigerian international has long attracted interest from top European clubs following his stellar performances in Serie A, where he played a pivotal role in Napoli’s 2023 Scudetto triumph. A move to Turkey would make Osimhen the most high-profile signing in the Süper Lig in recent memory, and a game-changing addition for Galatasaray as they aim to compete strongly both domestically and in Europe.
As part of the agreement, Galatasaray have committed to not selling Osimhen to any Italian club for the next two years — a clause deemed essential by Napoli to prevent him from quickly joining a Serie A rival.
While the fee and payment structure are agreed upon, final discussions are now focused on sell-on clauses and performance-related guarantees.
If completed, the move would not only bolster Galatasaray’s firepower but also signal their intent to reclaim continental prominence. Fans in Turkey and Nigeria are now on edge, awaiting what could become the most sensational transfer of the summer.
