Galatasaray Finalizes Loan Deal for Victor Osimhen from Napoli After Failed Transfers to Chelsea and Al-Ahli
Turkish club Galatasaray has reached an agreement with Napoli to sign Victor Osimhen on loan.
This move follows the Nigerian international’s unsuccessful attempts to transfer to Chelsea and Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal before the English transfer window closed.
Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Galatasaray has secured a loan deal for Osimhen for the remainder of the season. The reigning Süper Lig champions have also agreed to cover the 25-year-old striker’s full salary, estimated between €9m and €10m, and will now negotiate directly with Osimhen about the move.
Osimhen’s move to Chelsea fell through because the Premier League club could not meet his demands before the transfer window closed. Additionally, his proposed transfer to the Saudi Pro-League collapsed.
Currently, Osimhen has been excluded from Napoli’s first-team squad and could face several months without play if he does not finalize a move away from Naples.
