Victor Osimhen’s proposed move from Napoli to Galatasaray remains active, with fresh insight revealing the one condition Napoli insist upon before green-lighting the deal, Soccernet.ng understands.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, talks between Galatasaray and Napoli are still ongoing despite recent reports of deadlock.
Napoli are reportedly prepared to accept Galatasaray’s €75 million offer spread across five years, but only if the Turkish champions can provide formal bank guarantees to back the payment structure.
“The deal for Victor Osimhen has never been off so far as talks are still underway with Napoli,” Romano shared via his official X account. “Italian club insist to have bank guarantees as key step to accept €75m in five years.”

Galatasaray Eye Osimhen Return
Galatasaray’s negotiating team remains in Italy, where discussions are taking place, hoping to secure an agreement that would make Osimhen’s stay in Istanbul permanent.
The Nigerian striker, who has already rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, has made it clear he prefers to continue with Galatasaray rather than return to Napoli.
Earlier this week, reports suggested Napoli had rejected multiple structured offers from Galatasaray, but Romano’s latest update indicates the Italian club’s position is more about financial security than valuation.
Osimhen Rejects Napoli Stay
Osimhen has already accepted personal terms with Galatasaray, including a reported €16 million annual salary. Reports reveal that Osimhen does not wish to return to Naples, nor does he plan to report for pre-season training with the Serie A side.
For now, everything hinges on whether Galatasaray can provide the necessary guarantees to convince Napoli to close the deal. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming days.
