GALATASARAY have reportedly offered to pay up the full €75 million release clause in Victor Osimhen’s Napoli contract, according to various reports.
However, the Turkish giants still need to provide guarantees to convince the Italians to sell the Super Eagles striker.
Galatasaray have been pushing to sign Osimhen on a permanent basis following an overwhelmingly successful loan spell in Istanbul during the 2024/2025 season.
Yesterday, according to Football Italia, Galatasaray vice-president Abdullah Kavukçu was in Italy to discuss the move further, and as a result, the Turkish Super Lig champions decided to move forward by paying the full €75m release clause in the Osimhen’s ’s contract.
Napoli still need guarantees though before they sign off on a sale to Galatasaray.
Specifically, Napoli are unwilling to accept any deferrals on payment.
Napoli have since asked the intermediary involved in the deal that Galatasaray should present surety bonds to guarantee payment in full.
Therefore, despite their agreement to pay the release clause, Galatasaray still need to convince Napoli with an appropriate payment plan, the Italian outlet added.
Osimhen, 26, has become a huge fan favourite at Galatasaray following his stunning loan spell.
The Nigeria international registered 37 goals and six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions as Galatasaray won the Turkish Super Lig and Turkish Cup double last season.
