Galatasaray president insists deal won't hurt finances amid Osimhen, Napoli's guarantee demands
Published: July 10, 2025
Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has spoken about the club's ongoing pursuit of Victor Osimhen, making it clear that any potential move for the Napoli striker will not come at the expense of the club's financial stability.
The Istanbul giants want to retain the Nigeria international following his outstanding performances during a loan spell last season.
The Nigeria national teamer scored 37 goals in 41 all-competition appearances and was crowned the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig , decisively contributing to the club winning a domestic double.
Everything indicates that while Galatasaray are prepared to meet the asking price of 75 million euros, they propose paying in five installments, whereas Napoli are only open to one or two at most.
Napoli have once again requested bank guarantees from Galatasaray for the deal to go through, while Osimhen himself is also demanding assurances for the payment of his promised €16 million-plus salary, Italian newspaper Il Mattino reported on Wednesday night.
Galatasaray president Özbek was firm in his stance, insisting that their cautious and sustainable approach to transfers applies to all targets, including Osimhen.
"Everything is progressing normally at Galatasaray. We have never taken any action that would put Galatasaray in financial difficulty, and we will not do so," he told Radyospor.
"This situation also applies to Osimhen's possible transfer."
Osimhen's other suitor, Al-Hilal, have the financial muscle to trigger his release clause, but the Nigerian striker remains intent on continuing his career in Europe despite the lucrative offer on the table from the ambitious Saudi Pro League side.
