Victor Osimhen, Napoli striker on loan to Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen could experience his final days as a Napoli player, with Galatasaray willing to break all boundaries to bring him back.

Victor Osimhen – Galatasaray’s big goal
The first attempt by the Turkish club, which made a bid of €60 million, was immediately rejected by Napoli’s board, who insist on not lowering expectations for a world-class striker. Despite Osimhen’s limited playing time at Napoli, he showcased impressive qualities in Turkey during his loan spell and left a lasting impression. Galatasaray’s goal is clear: to make him the most significant signing in the history of the Süper Lig.
Naples opens for sale
At Napoli, they are aware that it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep the striker. The club’s financial situation, combined with the player’s strong desire to become a key player at a club where he feels valued, paves the way for a possible departure. At the same time, Galatasaray wants to make their mark in European football with a signing that could make history in the Turkish league.
