Napoli’s Sporting Director Quashes Speculation on Victor Osimhen’s Potential Galatasaray Move
Giovanni Manna, Napoli’s sporting director, has firmly shut the door on any speculation surrounding Victor Osimhen’s future with Turkish giants Galatasaray. According to Manna, the Turkish Super Lig champions are unable to meet the hefty €75 million buyout clause in Osimhen’s contract, effectively ending any potential negotiations.
In a recent statement, Manna emphasized that Napoli’s stance is unwavering, stating that Galatasaray does not possess the financial capabilities to meet the significant amount. This leaves little room for maneuvering, as the €75 million buyout clause remains a major hurdle for any potential suitors.
While Galatasaray may not be able to meet the financial demands, Manna revealed that other clubs are showing interest in acquiring Osimhen and are prepared to meet the €75 million price tag. This suggests that Napoli are in a strong position to dictate the terms of any potential transfer.
Osimhen, a 25-year-old striker, has made a significant impact since joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal in September. In just nine appearances across various competitions, he has netted an impressive eight goals and provided four assists, showcasing his talent and value to Okan Buruk’s squad.
This impressive performance has undoubtedly attracted attention, but Manna’s statements indicate that Napoli are not currently looking to entertain offers for the Nigeria international.
It’s worth noting that earlier reports from Naijawebinfo suggested that Galatasaray are planning a swap deal for Osimhen, but Manna’s comments have effectively ruled out any potential transfer.
