As the summer 2025 transfer window intensifies, here is the latest update on Victor Osimhen and his impending departure from Napoli.
Victor Osimhen’s impending departure from Napoli seems to be taking more twists and turns following the reports of the Serie A side rejecting Galatasaray’s improved bid for the forward, as transfer talks have now progressed to the club negotiation level from the previous update.
What is the latest on Victor Osimhen’s transfer?
According to Fabrizio Romano as of Friday, July 18, 2025, Napoli and Galatasaray have resumed talks once again—this time with new terms and conditions added to the contract by the Serie A side. Napoli is also requesting that the Nigerian forward be barred from joining another Serie A club for the next two years. Additionally, they are demanding stronger guarantees and a sell-on clause that would earn them revenue should Galatasaray sell Osimhen in the future.
It is important to note, however, that this is not the first time Napoli has asked for revisions to the proposed contract. They previously requested bank guarantees and that the €75 million valuation be paid much earlier than the Turkish champions had initially proposed.
Will Victor Osimhen join Galatasaray?
It remains to be seen if Victor Osimhen will complete the move from Napoli to Galatasaray, but reports indicate that talks between both clubs are in the final stages. Personal terms have already been agreed upon with the Nigerian forward.
