Napoli in Loan Talks with Galatasaray for Star Striker Victor Osimhen
In a developing story, Italian club Napoli is engaging in loan negotiations with Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. The 23-year-old’s future remains uncertain following his failed bid to depart Napoli on the transfer deadline day.
As a consequence of his inability to leave the club, Osimhen has been excluded from Napoli’s Serie A squad. Manager Antonio Conte revealed that the striker would not be reintegrated into the team, citing Osimhen’s original request for an exit as the reason.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Napoli is actively discussing a loan deal with Galatasaray for Osimhen. One possible arrangement could see Napoli share a substantial portion of the striker’s €10 million per season salary with the Turkish club. Another option would have Galatasaray absorb Osimhen’s wages, though they would not be obligated to pay a loan fee.
The Turkish transfer window remains open until September 13, leaving both Napoli and Galatasaray ample time to finalize the deal. For Osimhen, the loan transfer could provide an opportunity to regain his footing and increase his chances of securing a permanent move away from the Italian club in the near future.
The situation adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga surrounding Osimhen’s future in Naples. Fans and sports enthusiasts alike will be watching closely as this story develops, eager to see which direction the deal ultimately takes.
