The relationship between Galatasaray and Super Eagles ace, Victor Osimhen, which has created considerable excitement not only in Türkiye but also across Europe, is now official.
After days of intense negotiations with Napoli—sometimes complicated by the fluctuating demands of the club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis—the discussions have reached their final stages.
A deal has been struck, involving an upfront payment of €40 million, with an additional €35 million to be paid in two instalments before the end of 2026.
Napoli’s requirements for a bank guarantee have been satisfied, and the contract includes a clause stating that the star striker cannot be sold to any Italian club for the next two years.
