The transfer saga involving Victor Osimhen continues, with Napoli and Galatasaray actively seeking a resolution. The primary obstacle appears to be related to securing bank guarantees for the deal.
Galatasaray has reportedly agreed to meet Napoli`s €75 million valuation for the player. This figure represents a negotiated fee rather than the activation of a release clause.
Napoli was willing to accept payment in five installments, provided Galatasaray could furnish solid financial assurances guaranteeing the full amount.
However, recent discussions encountered significant difficulties. Napoli paused negotiations due to the absence of a satisfactory bank guarantee letter from Galatasaray.
Reports from Turkish outlet Sports Digitale suggest Napoli`s concerns are amplified by past experiences with Galatasaray regarding timely payments for previous transfers, specifically mentioning Goran Pandev and Blerim Dzemaili.
Galatasaray director Abdullah Kavukcu reportedly postponed his return to Istanbul today, indicating his commitment to ongoing negotiations aimed at finding a resolution.
The current discussions involve representatives from Napoli, Galatasaray, and the intermediary facilitating the transfer on behalf of Osimhen.
These intense talks follow earlier reports indicating Osimhen might refuse to participate in Napoli`s pre-season training to accelerate his move.
