However, a fresh update has emerged regarding the Nigerian striker’s potential next steps with a new twist, adding another layer to the ongoing transfer saga.

Major update on Osimhen's transfer surfaces

A new report from media outlet, Nexus Sports, suggests that Galatasaray, eager to secure a permanent deal for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, may explore the option of purchasing 50% of his rights during the January transfer window.

The report highlights that this approach is driven by Galatasaray's financial constraints, as meeting Napoli's €75 million valuation for Osimhen in full would be a significant challenge for the club's limited budget

While the strategy appears well-considered, the likelihood of Napoli agreeing to such a proposal remains uncertain and could prove difficult to materialise.

As of now, neither club has issued an official statement regarding the reported transfer plan, leaving fans and interested parties waiting to see how negotiations unfold.
