According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the payment is however structured in installments over five years,
Despite the offer matching Osimhen’s release clause, the Istanbul club has not triggered it directly, as the bid relies on Napoli accepting the terms of payment.
Napoli, who rejected earlier bids of €60m and €55m, are yet to respond to Galatasaray’s latest offer. The Serie A side is reportedly holding out for better payment conditions or a direct trigger of the clause.
