Transfer: Galatasaray suffer major blow as Napoli turn down Osimhen’s release clause amount
Galatasaray have suffered a big blow in their attempt to secure Victor Osimhen’s signing on a permanent transfer from Napoli.
This comes after Napoli opted to to turn down Osimhen’s release clause amount of €75million.
This was revealed by Nigerian broadcast journalist, Onyebuchi Onokala, also known as Buchi Laba, in a post on X.
According to him, the Serie A champions rejected Galatasaray’s €75m third offer for the 26-year-old which was the official release clause of the player.
He tweeted in the early hours of Thursday morning: “Napoli officially turns down Galatasaray €75m 3rd offer for Victor Osimhen. The official Release clause Figure.”
Buchi Laba added that Napoli are frustrating the deal intentionally, adding that they want to push Osimhen to Saudi Arabia club, Al Hilal.
But Osimhen has already made it very clear that going to Al Hilal is not possible and he only wants to join Galatasaray on a permanent transfer.
The Super Eagles striker has also made it very clear to Napoli that he won’t report for the club’s pre-season starting this month as he doesn’t want to play for Antonio Conte’s side anymore.
