Italian giants Napoli have rejected a €65m bid from Galatasaray for Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the Turkish giants attempted to make Osimhen’s loan move permanent but fell short of the striker’s €75m release clause.
The 26-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan until the end of the season without an option to buy, but the Turkish club have a unique advantage in negotiations due to a compensation clause in the agreement.
Should Osimhen move to another club in January, Galatasaray would be entitled to €6m compensation, effectively raising his release clause to €81m for other clubs during the winter transfer window.
This special arrangement means only Galatasaray can acquire the striker for €75m this month, with other clubs able to trigger the same release clause from summer.L
