Galatasaray push to sign Victor Osimhen as Napoli hold firm on valuation

Galatasaray have made an official bid to secure Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal, but Napoli are holding out for a higher offer before agreeing to any sale.

The Nigerian forward, who joined the Turkish giants on loan in January, has been in outstanding form, quickly becoming a key figure in their attack.

His performances have sparked significant interest, and Galatasaray are eager to retain him beyond the current season.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Istanbul club have submitted an opening bid of €65 million to Napoli in hopes of sealing a long-term agreement.

However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has reportedly rejected the offer, insisting that Osimhen will not leave for anything less than his €75 million release clause.

Will Galatasaray raise their offer?

With Osimhen’s market value rising and his impact on the pitch undeniable, the question remains whether Galatasaray will increase their bid to meet Napoli’s asking price.

The striker has yet to publicly declare his intentions for the future, leaving room for speculation on whether he sees his long-term future in Turkey or prefers to explore other opportunities.

As negotiations continue, Galatasaray must decide whether to stretch their financial limits to secure the Nigerian international, while Napoli stand firm in their valuation of one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
