Galatasaray remains determined to pursue the return of Victor Osimhen and continues negotiations with Napoli to secure the Nigerian center-forward. The €75 million release clause for foreign clubs, which recently expired, wouldn`t have been activated by the Turkish side in its original form anyway. While the overall figure remained €75 million, Gala had proposed payment over several periods rather than a single sum.
In previous days, the bank guarantees requested by Napoli regarding the financial backing for Osimhen`s permanent transfer to Galatasaray had led to a hardening of positions and a temporary deadlock. However, this proved to be brief. In the past few hours, Galatasaray has submitted a new offer for the consideration of Napoli and its president, De Laurentiis.
Galatasaray`s revised offer for Osimhen includes the figures and payment details. The bid remains at €75 million, structured as €40 million paid immediately to the Neapolitan club`s treasury, followed by two installments of €17.5 million each. Napoli appears open to this structure but is insisting on different payment terms and bank guarantees. The coming hours could indeed be decisive for the outcome of the transfer. Meanwhile, Juventus is reportedly observing the situation from the background.
