Napoli is set to evaluate offers for Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen in January.

The in-form striker, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, is attracting interest from Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, as well as a team from Saudi Arabia.

Osimhen has a release clause of €75 million and a compensation requirement of €6.5 million for his half-season loan.

However, any decision will depend on Osimhen’s consent. After rediscovering his outstanding form from the 2022-23 season, he could draw even greater attention from top clubs in 2025.

The 25-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan after a permanent transfer from Napoli fell through. He has been in exceptional form for the Turkish club, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in just nine appearances this season.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Osimhen’s release clause is expected to rise to around €80 million in January but will decrease to approximately €70 million next summer.
