Transfer Twist: Napoli Enter Fresh Talks with Galatasaray Over Victor Osimhen Deal — Player Keen on Move

Transfer Twist: Napoli Enter Fresh Talks with Galatasaray Over Victor Osimhen Deal — Player Keen on Move

Napoli is now officially open to new direct talks with Turkish giants Galatasaray over the transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, with hopes of wrapping up a deal this week, according to renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian club, once reluctant to part ways with their star forward, appears to be shifting gears — as long as two crucial conditions are met:

  1. Revised payment terms, and

  2. Bank guarantees to back Galatasaray's multi-phase bid.

💰 Galatasaray’s Latest Offer on the Table:

  • €40 million upfront,

  • Plus €35 million in installments (€17.5m + €17.5m),

  • Total package: €75 million.

Romano wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

“Napoli are open to this solution but insist on different payment terms and bank guarantees.”

✅ Player Wants the Move

Perhaps the most telling part of this saga? Victor Osimhen has already made it clear that he wants to join Galatasaray, rejecting offers from clubs including Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. That’s a strong signal — he’s not chasing money, but legacy and football relevance.

💭 Opinion: A Bold Leap or A Step Backward?

From a football lens, many might see a move from Serie A to the Turkish Süper Lig as a downgrade, especially for a striker of Osimhen’s calibre — the 2023 Capocannoniere (Serie A top scorer) and a former Ballon d’Or nominee.

But Galatasaray is not just any club — they’re Turkish royalty, frequent Champions League participants, and hungry to return to European elite status. If Osimhen leads them deep in Europe, he could redefine how African stars navigate their peak years.

Also, Napoli’s mismanagement and dressing-room chaos in the past year may have pushed Osimhen to prioritize peace of mind and competitive relevance over status quo.

📌 Final Thought:

If Galatasaray seals this deal, it could become one of the biggest transfers in Turkish football history — both in cost and global attention. For Osimhen, it's a calculated gamble that could pay off… or raise eyebrows if the project fails to match his ambition.
