Wednesday, November 13, 2024 -Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has firmly rejected the possibility of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen joining Turkish club Galatasaray on a permanent transfer.
Manna emphasized that Galatasaray, the reigning Turkish Super Lig
champions, does not have the financial resources to meet the €75 million buyout
clause in Osimhen’s contract. "Our door is closed to negotiations.
Galatasaray does not have the budget to pay this amount at this moment,"
Manna told Webaslan.
The 25-year-old forward joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan in
September, with the Turkish club reportedly interested in making his move
permanent. Despite their interest, Manna stated that several clubs are prepared
to pay the buyout clause, highlighting that the striker remains in high demand.
Osimhen has been in impressive form for Galatasaray, registering eight
goals and four assists in just nine appearances across all competitions,
further fueling speculation about his future. However, it seems any potential
permanent move to Galatasaray is now off the table.
