Talks between Galatasaray and Napoli over Victor Osimhen‘s transfer continued over the weekend, with the Nigerian striker rejecting new Al-Hilal approaches and waiting for a permanent move to Turkey.

Negotiations between Galatasaray and Napoli over Osimhen’s permanent transfer continued this weekend, with both parties eager to shake hands in a short time.

As Football Italia already reported on Tuesday last week, Galatasaray still need to provide guarantees to convince the Partenopei to sell.Having €75m available, in fact, is not enough for Gala.

Napoli want the striker’s transfer fee to be paid in full, as well as coverage provided by a guarantee and a letter of credit.

Osimhen is confident and continues waiting for a positive end to negotiations between the two clubs as he wants to remain at Galatasaray after his latest prolific loan spell in Istanbul.

The Nigeria international has once again rejected approaches from intermediaries who continued pushing for a move to Al-Hilal. Osimhen already rejected a €30m-a-year offer from Simone Inzaghi’s side in June.
