The new release clause is €75 mil after he extended his contract by a further one-year to preserve his value before joining the Turkish champions on a season-long loan.
According to Fanatik, Gala’s president, Dursun Ozbek, has started moving behind the scenes regarding how the club intends to sign the forward permanently.
He has reportedly called on all the club's sponsors to provide backing in creating a historic budget that could reach €50 mil, including bonuses for the operation.
The efforts could come to waste if the player who has yet to commit his future to any club is unwilling to remain in Turkey beyond the next summer window in June 2025.
Napoli will also be unwilling to lower the fee, having already reduced the release to €75 mil, down from the €130mil inserted into his contract in 2023.
