The Turkish giants have agreed to pay Napoli €75 million to snatch the highly-profiled attacker this summer. Galatasaray will initially pay €40 million, before settling the remaining €35 million over the next year. The final preparations for the transfer are now underway, and the clubs are clarifying Napoli’s percentage in case of a future resale of Osimhen.

Osimhen has been playing for Napoli since 2020 and is contracted to the Italian team until the summer of 2026.
