Given the various rumors circulating, it`s crucial to set the record straight regarding the situation involving Napoli, Galatasaray, and striker Victor Osimhen.
Optimism was high on Tuesday evening that a deal might be close, based on the reported €75 million fee. However, navigating the complex requirements for financial guarantees proved to be a significant obstacle.
Importantly, Napoli has maintained control of the negotiations throughout. They have not considered reducing their asking price, nor have they acted hastily just to secure a transfer fee.
It must be stated clearly: as of today, Napoli`s position is unwavering – they will not accept any offer less than €75 million for Osimhen.
Napoli Sets Osimhen`s Terms
Napoli`s most recent proposal to Galatasaray suggested €55 million paid immediately, with the remaining €20 million in installments, critically contingent upon the provision of solid financial guarantees.
At present, Galatasaray has not provided the required documentation. It`s also known that yesterday Napoli reportedly asked Osimhen to reconsider a bid from Al-Hilal, but he did not give a positive response. No meetings are scheduled to take place in Milan tonight.
The situation now depends on whether Galatasaray directors return to Istanbul and successfully secure the necessary financial guarantees that could finally facilitate Victor Osimhen`s move.
Finally, we must categorically deny any reports originating from Nigeria claiming that a breakthrough has occurred and that the required guarantees have already been sent to Napoli.
No such development has taken place. If any progress is made, it will likely unfold over the next few hours or days.
