After an endless summer transfer window for the Nigerian, where he was announced throughout Europe and particularly towards Paris Saint-Germain, then Chelsea, as well as towards Saudi Arabia, and Al-Hilal, in the last hours of the transfer window, Victor Osimhen (25 years old) did not find a satisfactory offer. But he should not stay very long in Naples, since he is in internal war with his current club. Indeed, Victor Osimhen was not registered on the Serie A list for this season by Naples, but still hoped to leave in the stoppage time of this summer transfer window.
Since Monday, the former LOSC striker has just seen a new exit door open in Turkey, on the Galatasaray side. And everything is moving very quickly since Naples quickly reached an agreement with the Istanbul club to sell Victor Osimhen, in the form of a loan until the end of the season, and the Turkish club would cover the player’s entire salary. The Nigerian has also agreed to join Turkey and is preparing to undergo a medical examination before committing to Turkey. Enough to put everyone in agreement in this perilous case since the beginning of the summer.
Victor Osimhen could leave in January
Surprising details of the contract negotiated by the Serie A striker quickly emerged and we were able to learn that the loan will not include an option or obligation to buy for the Nigerian international, as revealed by the Italian press. But The Athletic also reports that Victor Osimhen has a January break clause, which would ensure that Galatasaray receives a sum in exchange for Osimhen’s departure after only four months in Istanbul.
In other words, the Victor Osimhen saga could quickly resume if a club were to come forward for the month of January. As a reminder, Galatasaray won the Super Lig last season, but failed to qualify for the Champions League after being eliminated in the preliminary round against Young Boys Bern. Enough to further revive the future of the 25-year-old striker, while the Galatasaray board is still in Italy to finalize his arrival.
