Galatasaray are closing in on the signing of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen after making a restructured offer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Nigerian superstar is on his way back to Istanbul after weeks and even months of speculation. Galatasaray received the green light from Osimhen earlier this week, and they have been locked in talks with Napoli since.
Galatasaray are ready to obliterate their transfer record to prolong Osimhen's stay after his season-long loan last season. Initially, the Super Lig champions had hoped to push his transfer fee down to around €60 million.

However, Napoli have insisted that the value of his €75m release clause must be met, causing Galatasaray to eventually cave and offer more. Despite this, there has still been no full agreement due to the Serie A champions demanding 'bank guarantees' from their Turkish counterparts.
Talks between the two clubs over one of the most blockbuster - and surprising - deals of the summer are continuing, and there has now been major progress.
Galatasaray close in on Osimhen
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray are 'advancing' in the talks with Napoli and have submitted a restructured proposal in a bid to finally strike a deal with the Italian outfit.
"€70m fee with bank guarantees for the instalments now on the table, decision up to Napoli again," Romano wrote on X. According to Turkish market expert Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Osimhen's move to Galatasaray is 'about to be finalised.'
The player is waiting for permission from Napoli to head back to Istanbul and sign his three-year contract with Galatasaray. There will also be an option to extend this contract by a further season.
Galatasaray are on the verge of pulling off one of, if not the single biggest, transfer in the history of Turkish football. Osimhen was treated like a king last season, and his god-like status will only increase if he ends up committing his future to the reigning champions permanently.
The 26-year-old scored a whopping 37 goals and provided eight assists in 41 appearances last term.
