According to reports from RAI Sport, Victor Osimhen has a €90 million release clause that could see him leave Napoli permanently during the January transfer window.
The Nigerian striker recently joined Galatasaray on loan after failed negotiations with Al-Ahli, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain over the summer.

Before making the temporary switch, Osimhen extended his contract with Napoli until June 2027. As part of the new deal, his release clause was reduced to €75 million, down from the original €130 million.
However, journalist Ciro Venerato of RAI Sport, as cited by Corriere Azzurro, revealed another clause that permits Osimhen to depart Napoli for €90 million in January. Notably, this clause is only applicable to clubs outside of Serie A.
Juventus has been linked with Osimhen recently, but Galatasaray’s vice-president İbrahim Hatipoğlu has made it clear that the 25-year-old will not be leaving the club during the winter transfer period.
Osimhen, the top scorer of the 2022-23 Serie A season, recently scored twice for Galatasaray in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa. During his time with Napoli, he netted an impressive 76 goals in 133 appearances.
