Nigerian international Victor Osimhen may be poised for a January exit from Napoli, courtesy of a €90m release clause, according to RAI Sport. This revelation comes despite Osimhen’s recent loan move to Galatasaray.
Osimhen had extended his Napoli contract until June 2027 before joining Galatasaray on loan, with his release clause reportedly reduced from €130m to €75m. However, RAI Sport journalist Ciro Venerato claims an additional clause allows the striker to leave Napoli for €90m in January, excluding Serie A clubs.
Recent speculation linked Juventus to Osimhen’s signature, but Galatasaray vice-president İbrahim Hatipoğlu insists the 25-year-old will remain at the club beyond January. Osimhen’s impressive start at Galatasaray continued with a brace in Saturday’s 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa.
Victor Osimhen’s impressive start to life in Turkey continues, with the Nigerian international registering two goals and four assists in his first four matches for Galatasaray across all competitions.
