In a significant development, Galatasaray have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Napoli for the loan transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Napoli have accepted a straight loan proposal from the Turkish giants, with no option to buy clause included.
The financial details of the deal indicate that Galatasaray will cover Osimhen’s salary, which is estimated to be around €9 to €10 million for the duration of the loan.
This move, if finalized, would see Osimhen don the colors of one of Turkey’s most successful football clubs, albeit temporarily.
However, the final decision rests with Osimhen.
A delegation from Galatasaray is currently in Naples and is set to meet with the Super Eagles star in the coming hours to discuss the proposal. Osimhen’s green light is crucial for the deal to proceed.
This potential move comes as a surprise, given Osimhen’s integral role in Napoli’s recent success, including their Serie A triumph.
The Nigerian forward’s next decision will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated in this transfer window, as fans and pundits alike await his response.
