- 加拉塔薩雷 agree €75m deal for Osimhen
- €40m paid upfront, €35m by 2026
- Napoli insert clause blocking 意甲 返回
根據 米蘭體育報 Osimhen’s long transfer saga is over as Napoli and Galatasaray have reached a €75 million (£63m/$86m) agreement, ending a turbulent chapter between the striker and the club. Galatasaray will pay €40m (£34m/$46m) up front and the remaining €35m (£30m/$40m) will be sent to Napoli by 2026. The deal also includes a critical clause: Osimhen can’t be sold to an Italian team for two years.
This deal closes a drawn out conflict that began after Napoli’s Serie A title win in 2023. The 26-year-old, the face of their historic title run, became sidelined and increasingly disconnected amid transfer interest that summer, resulting in him being loaned to the Turkish giants. He thrived in the 超級聯賽 and the Istanbul club made clear they wanted to sign him outright, but Napoli’s high asking price and demands for bank guarantees held up the deal until now.
The “anti-義大利 clause” in Osimhen’s deal forces Galatasaray to pay double the transfer fee if he joins a Serie A club before 2027. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis added the clause to prevent the Nigerian forward from resurfacing with a domestic rival.
Osimhen will now begin a new chapter in Turkey with Galatasaray, while Napoli continue to strengthen ahead of the new season. Lorenzo Lucca has joined on a €9m (£8m/$10m) loan with an obligation to buy for €26m (£22m/$30m) to further strengthen their attack.
