Italian club reduces release clause to €75 million Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, who is set to join the Turkish club, Galatasaray, on loan from Napoli, has extended his contract with the Italian club to 2027, reports eplindex.com.The move to Galatasaray took many European football watchers by surprise, but the Turkish club is said to have entered the picture late, only initiating negotiations on Monday.
This followed the collapse of potential moves to Al-Ahli and Chelsea on Deadline Day, with financial disagreements proving insurmountable.
Now, the Turkish giants have secured Osimhen on a dry loan until June 2025. The arrangement sees Galatasaray covering Osimhen’s salary, a commitment that will cost the club €10 million for the duration of the loan.
In conjunction with the loan, Osimhen has agreed to extend his contract with Napoli until 2027. This new deal is a strategic move by the Italian club to maintain the player’s market value.
