Galatasaray in advanced talks for Osimhen as Napoli hold firm

The Turkish champions have submitted a structured offer worth €75 million in total, combining an upfront payment of €40 million with a further €35 million to be paid in instalments.

Napoli are said to be open to the overall valuation, but remain firm on their preferred payment schedule and are seeking strict bank guarantees before moving forward. While Galatasaray's bid marks a serious statement of intent, the structure of the deal and the financial assurances required continue to present challenges.

Should the move go through, it would represent a significant moment not only for Galatasaray but also for Turkish football more broadly. Osimhen, who has drawn interest from across Europe in recent windows, now finds himself at the centre of one of the summer's most intriguing transfer sagas.

As talks continue, the outcome may depend not only on finances but also on how convincingly Galatasaray can sell their long-term vision to the Nigerian international.
