Osimhen Nears Galatasaray Loan Amid Napoli Drama

Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigerian striker, is in talks with Galatasaray for a potential loan move after failed transfer attempts by Chelsea and Al-Ahli. Napoli, under manager Antonio Conte, has excluded Osimhen from their plans for the 2024/25 season, leaving him without a spot in the squad. Despite his impressive goal-scoring record, high wage demands and a €130 million release clause hindered his move to Chelsea, while Al-Ahli opted for Ivan Toney instead. Galatasaray is now negotiating with Napoli, aiming to complete the loan deal before the Turkish transfer window closes on September 13. This move would offer Osimhen a chance to continue playing competitively rather than remaining sidelined at Napoli.
