“Exclusive: Victor James Osimhen says YES to Galatasaray and wants to continue with the Turkish team.

For weeks, Napoli has been begging Victor Osimhen to remain with them.

However, Osimhen has made it very clear that he wants to leave the Italian club.

Galatasaray and Napoli are now negotiating the payment of his release clause.”

Victor Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 and became one of their top players, helping the club win the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years.

His performances attracted interest from big European clubs, but Galatasaray has now taken the lead in securing his signature.

The Turkish club is hoping to finalise negotiations soon so Osimhen can join them for pre-season training and prepare ahead of the new league campaign.

More updates about the deal, including the transfer fee and personal terms, are expected to be released in the coming days.

The Nigerian striker will feature for the Turkish side at next season’s UEFA Champions League tournament.
