Turkish giants Galatasaray are considering whether to make a fresh bid or walk away from ongoing negotiations for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, following Napoli’s rejection of their fourth offer.
According to Nigerian sports journalist Onyebuchi Onokala, popularly known as Buchi Laba, the latest proposal from Galatasaray, which reportedly met all of Napoli’s initial demands, was turned down due to new conditions introduced by the Italian club.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Buchi Laba, who is known to be close to Osimhen, confirmed the development:
“Yes, 100% confirmed: Napoli rejects Galatasaray’s 4th offer for Victor Osimhen. In the 4th offer, Galatasaray agreed to all terms and conditions requested by the Italians, and now they want more in second installment payments and the sell-on clause. Rejected by Galatasaray.”
The forward has reportedly informed Napoli of his desire to join Galatasaray, but the Serie A club’s tough stance appears to be stalling progress.
Galatasaray’s management is said to be holding internal discussions on whether to table a fifth offer or end the pursuit altogether.
