Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that new direct talks are taking place today over a potential deal for Osimhen, with a crucial week ahead in negotiations.
Galatasaray have submitted a formal bid: €40 million upfront, with an additional €35 million to be paid in two separate €17.5 million installments. Napoli are open to the structure of the deal but are holding firm on adjusting the payment terms and demanding solid bank guarantees.
In his latest column for CaughtOffside , journalist Alfredo Pedullà added that while Galatasaray are eager to activate the striker’s release clause, Napoli expect more than just intent—they want full financial assurances before moving forward.
“Napoli want more,” Pedullà wrote. “Not just vague promises of splitting the payment in instalments, but a real final guarantee, like a proper bank guarantee or an irrevocable letter of credit.
“In short: cash straight away or bulletproof guarantees. Now it’s up to Galatasaray to fully meet Napoli’s demands. There’s a reason why Napoli want every cent: it’s a matter of funding their incoming transfers and the investment in their next striker.”
