Galatasaray Stops Pursuing Osimhen After Napoli Ask for Too Much Money
Turkish transfer expert Süleyman Rodop has confirmed that Galatasaray will no longer pursue Victor Osimhen following Napoli’s tough demands. Napoli reportedly asked for €40 million upfront and another €35 million by 2026, along with a sell-on clause, after Galatasaray submitted their fourth offer for the Nigerian striker.
Speaking to Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi, Rodop stated that the Turkish club won’t go beyond their final bid. He explained that although Osimhen’s current deal runs out next year, Napoli still hold the option to extend it by another season. Rodop praised Osimhen for his professionalism, saying he handled the situation admirably.
However, Galatasaray have decided to walk away, believing Napoli are dragging the deal unnecessarily. “The latest offer stands, and it won’t change,” Rodop said. “Napoli’s president is just playing games now.” Osimhen is said to be eager to return to Galatasaray permanently, after impressing on loan last season.

Alexander Isak is on track to become Liverpool’s third highest-paid player if his move from Newcastle goes through this summer. The Swedish striker has reportedly made it clear to Newcastle that he wants to leave, and Liverpool are eyeing a deal that could cost them around £150 million.
Although the Magpies initially insisted Isak wasn’t for sale, Liverpool turned their attention to Hugo Ekitike, signing him for £79 million. However, hopes of landing Isak have been reignited after he missed Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia, raising further questions about his future at the club.
According to reports, if the transfer happens, Isak would earn about £250,000 a week, matching Ekitike’s wages, which would place him just behind Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk on Liverpool’s wage list. Currently, Isak earns £120,000 a week at Newcastle.
