SSC Napoli, Osimhen Nearing Exit: Galatasaray Pushing, Man United Waiting in the Wings
Is Victor Osimhen on his way out of SSCNapoli this summer? According to Sky Sports DE, the Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, may not return to the Stadio Maradona at the end of the season. After a disappointing campaign following Napoli’s Scudetto triumph, a permanent move to Turkey is gaining traction.
Two Key Conditions
1_Osimhen’s future hinges on two crucial factors:
2_Galatasaray qualifying for the Champions League, a move that would help them financially and bolster their sporting appeal.
A potential discount from Napoli on the player’s price tag.
Osimhen has a €75 million release clause, valid only for clubs outside Italy - a figure deemed too steep by the Turkish giants. However, with his contract expiring in 2026, Napoli may be open to lowering their demands to avoid losing him on a free transfer further down the line.
Manchester United Also Monitoring
Lurking in the background is Manchester United, who remain on the hunt for an experienced striker to add depth and quality to Rúben Amorim’s attacking options. The Red Devils have long been admirers of Osimhen and could yet make a move if Galatasaray fail to meet Napoli’s terms.
For now, Galatasaray are leading the race - but the summer promises to be decisive, with Osimhen's name firmly on the radar of several top European clubs.
