Nigeria TV Info reports that Napoli have turned down a fresh €75 million bid from Turkish side Galatasaray for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, even though the offer matches the official release clause in his contract.
According to Nigerian sports journalist and transfer expert Onyebuchi Onokala, popularly known as Buchi Laba, Napoli are instead pushing Osimhen towards a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League. Onokala revealed this in an update shared on X in the early hours of Thursday.
“Napoli officially turns down Galatasaray €75m third offer for Victor Osimhen. The official release clause figure,” he posted.
The 26-year-old Nigerian forward had reportedly agreed to a permanent switch to Galatasaray after a successful loan stint, but Napoli’s refusal suggests the club is focused on cashing in more lucratively from the Middle East.
