But Romano says that Galatasaray will return with a better offer soon as Napoli hold out for a fee as close to the €75 million release clause in the striker's contract.

Romano says that Osimhen has already agreed a contract with Galatasaray until 2028, with only a transfer fee needing to be sorted to complete the transfer.

Osimhen to Galatasaray

Romano's update follows a flurry of news on Monday that Galatasaray has decided to join Galatasaray this summer.

He has rejected multiple lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and Al-Hilal as he wants to continue his football in Europe.

Osimhen had ideally hoped to secure a move to the Premier League or a major European club - with Juventus also admirers - but with no offer forthcoming appears to have settled to remain at Galatasaray.

Osimhen is one of the biggest names on the summer transfer market having been transfer listed by Napoli.

He has been linked to a host of Europe's biggest clubs, including Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Juventus.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray last summer on loan for the season from Napoli until June 2025.

It was a dry loan with Galatasaray simply covering his salary from September until June at a cost of €10 million.

He enjoyed a fantastic season with Galatasaray, scoring 36 goals in all competitions and winning the league.

Osimhen has returned to Napoli but wikll leave the club permanently this summer.

The 26-year-old has a release clause in his Napoli contract worth €75 million, for foreign clubs only from July 1 to 15.

He has no future at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after falling out with the club last year.
