Victor Osimhen will finally leave the Napoli. An end of the story in sausage water, after a title of champion and top scorer in 2022-2023. But it was then that the boat began to shed, between initial promises not held and tensions between the Nigerian and its president Aurelio de Laurentiis. This resulted in a sidelining last summer, Galatasaray saving everyone by coming to get the player's loan. Successfully, since Osimhen has scored 26 goals in Super Lig, winning a title of champion of Türkiye.
One thing has not changed, the intransigence of Laurentiis, who has continued to claim the amount of the release clause of his player, namely € 75 million. Saudi clubs have tried, without success, Italian training has hoped (like Juventus Turin) and Galatasaray has never ceased to believe in despite these amounts a priori out of reach. And the Stambouliote club has good since it was he who pulled out of the game, by finding an agreement with Naples.
An anti-series clause has galatasaray
The conditions of the deal are thus listed by the Gazzetta dello Sport. 40 M € will be paid now, then 35 M € by 2026. But the most surprising arrives: Galatasaray will not be able to resell Osimhen to an Italian club before 2027, under penalty of a heavy penalty which would double the purchase price. Aurelio de Laurentiis clearly refused to see the Nigerian return within a year in Serie A under other colors. Because there is a good chance that he will shine again in Galatasaray.
In any case, the Stambouliote club strikes a very big blow on the transfer window by completing the final transfer of Victor Osimhen. In great shape, 26 years old, Osimhen will be a major asset to get a new champion title and to appear in the Champions League. For his part, Naples validated the arrival of Lorenzo Lucca, coming from the Udinese, in the form of a paid loan of € 9 million with a purchase obligation fixed at € 26 million.
