Napoli Demands Bank Guarantees for Osimhen’s €75M Galatasaray Transfer
Napoli has set strict financial conditions for Victor Osimhen’s potential €75 million move to Galatasaray, demanding bank guarantees from the Turkish champions. The transfer fee matches Osimhen’s release clause, but payment terms remain a major sticking point between the clubs.
Galatasaray wants to spread the €75 million payment across five years, a proposal Napoli has reportedly rejected. The Italian club seeks stronger financial assurances before agreeing to the extended payment schedule for their star striker.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has been closely monitoring the negotiations, though specific details about the bank guarantee requirements remain unclear. The Turkish Super Lig champions appear committed to securing Osimhen’s signature despite the financial hurdles.
Osimhen, who joined Napoli in 2020 for approximately €70 million, has become one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers. The Nigerian international played a crucial role in Napoli’s 2023 Serie A title triumph, scoring 26 league goals that season.
The proposed move would represent a significant coup for Galatasaray, bringing a proven goal scorer to the Turkish league. However, Napoli’s insistence on bank guarantees suggests concerns about the payment structure’s reliability.
Both clubs must resolve the financial terms before any deal can proceed. The transfer window’s timing adds pressure to complete negotiations quickly, with Osimhen’s future hanging in the balance.
