Galatasaray secured the service of Victor Osimhen after reaching agreement to pay his salary in full for the 2024-25 season.
The Turkish champions announced on Monday night that negotiations had begun with the Italian club and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed shortly afterwards that the loan switch had been approved.
Journalist expect Fabrizio Romano published on his social media platform page that both teams have reached agreement.
Romano wrote “Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray, here we go! Deal done and all documents have been approved.
“Osimhen’s release clause will be €75m with Napoli option to extend until 2027. Loan move to Gala until June 2025, €9/10m salary covered. No buy option, no obligation.”
