Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on Victor Osimhen’s future, stating that the Super Eagles striker will not be staying at Galatasaray and is certain to leave Napoli at the end of the season.
Since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer, Victor Osimhen has showcased his ability as one of the world’s top strikers, scoring 33 goals and providing seven assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
The Nigerian striker has been the main man for Galatasaray, guiding them toward an impressive domestic double, with the club aiming to claim their 25th Turkish Süper Lig title and capture their 19th Turkish Cup in the upcoming final against last season’s runners-up, Trabzonspor.
As rumours continue to swirl about his next destination, Fabrizio Romano has revealed key details about Victor Osimhen’s future, highlighting why a move to the Premier League is complicated and what options remain open for the striker

“First of all, Osimhen is not staying at Galatasaray. Osimhen is going back to Napoli after the loan deal but he will not be staying at Napoli for sure, it’s over. The release clause is there, €75 million, that remains very clear,” he said.
“The interest in Osimhen is genuine from Premier League top clubs, several top clubs. The real issue is the salary. Victor Osimhen is on €12 million net per season at Napoli. With the Financial Fair Play and different salary structure they have in Premier League in recent years, at the moment this money is considered too much.”
“This was also the reason why last summer the deal between Osimhen and Chelsea was never close, because it was about the salary.”
“It’s either Victor Osimhen changes his mind and reduces his salary or there are other opportunities like Saudi Arabia for sure and there is also the interest from Juventus in Italy,” Fabrizio confirmed.
As Victor Osimhen prepares for the next chapter in his career, the Nigerian striker will be hoping to cap off his brief but impactful stint at Galatasaray with another league title.
With speculation mounting over his future and a departure from both Galatasaray and Napoli all but confirmed, lifting the Süper Lig trophy would be a fitting farewell — one that underlines his influence and leaves a lasting mark on the Turkish giants.
