Victor Osimhen, a Nigerian international, is currently in the Serie A club Napoli. The 26-year-old was loaned out by Napoli in the previous season and played a crucial role for the Turkish team to win the league in their last campaign and clinch a domestic double. Victor Osimhen scored 37 goals and provided 6 assists in the 41 appearances that he made for the Champions of Turkey. The Nigerian international's magnificent performance has sparked the interest in the Turkish side to sign the 26-year-old on a permanent deal.
According to the latest developments, Galatasaray have submitted a new proposal to Napoli for Victor Osimhen worth €75m after their proposal of €70m was rejected by the Italian side Napoli. Galatasaray’s offer would be structured in two payments, that is, €40 million up front, followed by €35 million in a second installment. The Turkish champions now hope that they have matched the valuation of the Nigerian striker by Napoli and would be able to sign him permanently.
