Napoli has reduced Victor Osimhen’s release clause to €75 million.

The Nigerian striker’s contract with the Serie A club last year included a €130 million release clause.

However, Osimhen was unable to secure a move away from Italy this summer and is now expected to join Galatasaray on a season-long contract.

The Turkish club will cover his €9/10m salary, with no option or obligation to buy.

Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, wrote on X: “Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray, here we go! Deal done and all documents have been approved.

“Osimhen’s release clause will be €75m with Napoli option to extend until 2027.

“Loan move to Gala until June 2025, €9/10m salary covered.

“No buy option, no obligation.”
