The deal, once completed, will break the Turkish transfer record.
Napoli will receive €40m immediately and the additional €35m over the next year. The deal also includes restrictions on Osimhen joining Serie A clubs for two years.
Osimhen was on loan at Galatasaray for the 2024/25 season. He scored 37 goals and provided eight assists in 41 matches across all competitions as the club won both league and cup double.

The transfer will put an end to a two-year saga that saw the Lagos-born star frozen out of Napoli’s squad at the beginning of last season.
