Galatasaray agree to pay Osimhen release clause in full

Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have reportedly agreed to activate Victor Osimhen’s €75 million release clause.

The Istanbul club had two earlier offers rejected by Serie A champions Napoli but have now met the buyout clause, which remains valid for non-Italian clubs until July 15.

Osimhen, who spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Galatasaray after a failed move away from Napoli last summer, delivered an impressive campaign—scoring 37 goals and providing eight assists in 41 appearances to help the club secure a domestic double.

Galatasaray’s initial €60 million bid earlier this week was turned down, with Napoli insisting on the full clause.

According to Sky Sports, Osimhen will earn €16 million annually on a new four-year deal—an increase from the €12 million he earned during his loan stint last season.
