Napoli and Galatasaray signing Osimhen contracts after finalising agreement

Multiple outlets in Italy and Turkey are reporting that Napoli and Galatasaray are currently signing and exchanging the necessary documents to complete the sale of Nigeria international Victor Osimhen. 

According to the likes of Fabrizio Romano and Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, the deal is now at the ‘signing stage’, and lawyers are currently working in an attempt to complete the transaction before the end of the fine settimana. 

Earlier this week, Napoli and Galatasaray finally reached a decisive agreement in their talks over Osimhen’s transfer.

How much Galatasaray agreed to pay Napoli for Osimhen 

Galatasaray had already agreed to pay the full €75m asking price, but the two parties continued to negotiate over the payment terms, instalments and guarantees of payment. 

In the end, Galatasaray agreed to pay Napoli the full €75m by the end of 2026. €40m will be paid up front, and the remaining €35m in instalments by the end of next year. 

The Partenopei will also be entitled to up to €5m in bonuses and will retain a 10% sell-on clause. 

Osimhen will leave Napoli after five years on the clubs books, the final one spent out on loan in Istanbul with Galatasaray. 

The Nigeria international netted 65 Serie A goals from 108 league appearances during his time in Naples, and was the Capocannoniere as Napoli won their first Serie A title since the Diego Maradona era during the 2022-23 season. 

Osimhen’s loan spell with Galatasaray in 2024-25 brought frightening form in front of goal, with 37 scored and eight assists provided from 41 appearances across all competitions last season.
