Wednesday, November 13, 2024 - Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has firmly rejected the possibility of striker Victor Osimhen joining Turkish club Galatasaray on a permanent transfer.
Manna emphasized that Galatasaray, the reigning Turkish
Super Lig champions, does not have the financial resources to meet the €75
million buyout clause in Osimhen’s contract.
"Our door is closed to negotiations. Galatasaray does
not have the budget to pay this amount at this moment," Manna told
Webaslan.
The 25-year-old forward joined Galatasaray on a season-long
loan in September, with the Turkish club reportedly interested in making his
move permanent. Despite their interest, Manna stated that several clubs are
prepared to pay the buyout clause, highlighting that the striker remains in
high demand.
Osimhen has been in impressive form for Galatasaray,
registering eight goals and four assists in just nine appearances across all
competitions, further fueling speculation about his future. However, it seems
any potential permanent move to Galatasaray is now off the table.
