However, while the outlet details that Galatasaray is aiming to reach an agreement for a transfer fee within the range of €50 million, swirling reports have continued to suggest that Napoli is holding out for a fee around €75mil.

Amid this ongoing transfer fee impasse, a fresh report has emerged detailing Osimhen’s message to the Galatasaray hierarchy regarding a potential permanent move.

Osimhen's sends a message to Galatasaray's hierarchy

According to a report from Turkish outlet, Nexus Sports, Osimhen has made it clear to Galatasaray's hierarchy that he is willing to stay at the club, provided his transfer fee and desired wage demands are met.

While this news may excite both Osimhen’s fans and Galatasaray supporters, it must be noted that, although these demands may seem straightforward, they could prove to be quite challenging for the club to fulfill.

In addition to the transfer fee, which Galatasaray is still struggling to meet, a report from Forza Cimbom detailed that Osimhen is seeking a salary in the region of €20m to consider making any club move permanent.

Currently, these financial demands are considered too high for Galatasaray to afford. Given the club’s financial constraints, they may ultimately decide to pass on signing the Nigerian forward.

It remains to be seen how Osimhen’s future will unfold, but this is certainly a situation worth monitoring closely.
