Napoli and Galatasaray could spit in each other’s faces whenever they meet to discuss the Turkish’s intention to sign Victor Osimhen on a permanent transfer.

Osimhen joined the Turkish club to escape from exile after Napoli froze him out of the squad following failed proposed moves to Chelsea and Al-Ahli on the deadline day.

The Lions are impressed by the Super Eagles star’s performance after just eight games into his year-long loan move and have decided to pursue a permanent move.

According to Fanatik, Gala believes an offer of €50 million, including variables, will be enough to convince Napoli to sell and have devised a strategy to raise the funds.

Napoli sends firm warning to Galatasaray

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is a reputable tough negotiator who only shifts grounds if his demands are met and many times demands more when they are met.

This led to the collapse of Osimhen's proposed move to Saudi club Al-Ahli in the summer when Napoli demanded an extra €5mil after an initial agreement.

As noted by Turkiye Today, the Neapolitans have fired a warning to the Super Lig champions that their demands for the permanent transfer of the player are non-negotiable.

The Italians dropped the release clause to €75mil when the Nigerian left the club on loan. His initial value was €130mil, displaying their magnanimity already, and they won't accept anything lower.

“If Galatasaray does not pay the net fee of $82 million, they will not be able to keep Victor Osimhen,” says Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna.
