Napoli Reject Galatasaray’s €75m Offer as Osimhen Insists He Won’t Join Saudi Club
Galatasaray’s push to land Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal has hit a major setback, as Napoli have reportedly rejected their latest offer; even though it matches the striker’s official release clause. According to Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba, Napoli turned down Galatasaray’s third bid of €75 million, the exact amount in Osimhen’s contract clause.
The rejection has sparked fresh tension, with Laba claiming the Italian club is deliberately blocking the deal in a bid to pressure Osimhen into accepting a move to Saudi side Al Hilal. However, the Nigerian forward has made his stance crystal clear; he has no interest in moving to Saudi Arabia and is only focused on joining Galatasaray.
To further stress his position, Osimhen has reportedly informed Napoli that he won’t be returning for pre-season, showing his determination to leave the club and avoid playing under new manager Antonio Conte. The 26-year-old Super Eagles star appears to be standing firm in his decision, and with Galatasaray eager to sign him, all eyes are now on how Napoli will handle the standoff.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.

The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
