Napoli has moved to draw a firm line under the Victor Osimhen transfer saga, finalizing a high-stakes deal that not only brings in major cash but also protects their interests at home.
The Italian club has agreed to sell the Nigerian striker to Galatasaray in a deal worth €75 million, €40 million paid upfront and €35 million in installments over the next year. Osimhen, 26, had spent last season on loan at the Turkish club, where he impressed with 37 goals and 8 assists in 41 games.
While the fee is significant, Napoli prioritized more than just money. As part of the agreement, they inserted a strict clause barring Osimhen from signing with any Italian club for two full seasons after his move.
This unusual step underlines how determined Napoli were to avoid facing their former star in Serie A competition anytime soon. Galatasaray and Osimhen agreed to the condition without hesitation.
Now, only final paperwork stands in the way of completion, pending verification of Galatasaray’s ability to meet the remaining €35 million commitment.
