Napoli has blocked Victor Osimhen's Galatasaray transfer citing that they can only accept full release clause payment by Galatasaray and not 5 installmental payments. For me i think Galatasaray shouldn't put themselves under pressure just to sign a single player like Victor Osimhen because the club don't have enough money to foot his transfer fee and running into debt just to sign him should not be the best option and if Napoli keeps making things difficult for Clubs that comes to sign Osimhen, he should just relax till his contract expires and he leaves as a free agent instead of this frustrations by Napoli.

Galatasaray has taken another offer to Napoli and this time around they’ve taken the full amount needed by Napoli to release Victor Oshimen to them. In the most recent offer to them, they will be paying €40M as initial payment and make the remaining €35M payment in instalments. This time around I think Napoli’s president will accept this and allow Osimehn to play for Galatasaray and not be bind to Napoli henceforth. It was not really a great time for him at Napoli and the way they treated him was not nice at all for someone that helped them won the scudetto for the first time. I wish him a greater career at Galatasaray.

I don't think that Manchester United is in the picture again concerning oshimen since he has refused to move to the Saudi the only option left for oshimen right now is Galatasary and from the look of things Napoli is likely to frustrates oshimen move to Galatasary from the look of things

Victor Osimhen wants to play at the highest level of football for now; that's why he refused to move to the Saudi Arabian league. Manchester United have not made any formal approach to signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, and I believe if Manchester United meet Victor Osimhen's release clause, Victor Osimhen will gladly move to the Premier League and play for Manchester United because he will have the chance to play at the highest level of football.

What highest level of football does he want to play he has been playing in the top leagues in Europe he has played in the German bundesliga, French ligue 1 and the Italian seria A where he won the scudetto with napoli so I didn't see any football that is higher than these leagues I have mentioned the best option for him now is to move to the Saudi league and make the money if oshimen wants to play in the highest level then he will not be playing in a league like the turkey super league

In my opinion, I think Victor Osimhen wants to continue playing in Europe because of the passion he has for football, and he knows he will be happier playing football in Europe than playing football in the Saudi Arabia league. We need to respect Victor Osimhen's decision and support him as he wants to continue his professional football career in Europe.

With all respect to Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray but the attitude of Napoli is very arrogant and hard to understand. I know they want to get profit from their players but they literally rejected him, they haven’t good communications for quite long time, they want to get ride of him while his contract isn't very long and Galatasaray is trying their best to collect enough funds for a rejected player!
Players should be aware when writing their contract with professional teams especially Napoli because the manner they treat their players is very strange.

So playing for Galatasary is the new highest level?   Victor Osimhen simply wants a club in the champions league competition and the same time a club that can eventually handle his wages and salaries. Manchester United are not ready to match his wages. Negotiating a fee for his transfer wouldn't have been difficult for Manchester United to handle. They had talks and then a final talk saying he's swinging the turkish ways. Who should be the African best amongst them?! I'd say HAKIMI!! #THOUGHTS?!

I don’t think I have ever seen a more dramatic and stressful transfer than this Victor Osimhen & Napoli situation. Napoli clearly doesn’t want the player, I believe the owner has serious personal issues with Osimhen that’s why they are handling his transfer this way. Their requests are too much IMO it’s not about profit they just want to frustrate Osimhen.

Another Ex Super Eagles Player is on the deaf bed again. Former Super Eagles Defender Kadiri Ikhana is critically ill and hospitalized in Edo Teaching Hospital by  a retired Police Officer and the government is nothing about it. He played in the 1980 African Nations Cup and they Won the Cup. But after his retirement, he was neglected. And today he is on the dying bed. On aging he regrets of joining the Super Eagles Team because according to him it was time wasted. "He would have used the time to something else"

they are already frustrating victor osimehn. osimehn is just trying to be strong by making it look like he doesn't want to go out from Galatasaray. the manner with which osimehn and Galatasaray parted way was not on a positive note and that is the main reason why napoli is still trying to make things very difficult for osimehn even till the present. most of the premier league clubs that looks like the likely to get him have sort out for worthy replacement and most of them might not be interested in getting him again. this transfer issue continues going on for long, he is going to continue losing his worth with time.

Napoli are not interested in keeping Victor Osimhen at their club, they are just trying to get as much money possible from his sale. Why do they even believe that Galatasaray have very big finances to spend in the summer transfer window someone has to be leaking this secret lol. Anyways Gala have made a bid that has already been rejected with hopes of an improved bid soon they seem to be very serious about signing Osimhen.

But with all the big money clubs usually pay to players why is it that almost all our old players are not wealthy or even having what they could use to get a standard medical treatment because we have also heard about the late super eagles player who died months ago and he was not also financial stable, although what affected some of this players is that they were very unfortunate to get hired by the international clubs but instead start and finishes there career on this country, perhaps Kadiri Ikhana could have been one of those people who were only playing within the country, meanwhile I wish Kadiri Ikhana a fast and healthy recovery.

I think the Napoli situation with Victor Osimhen like they really trying to maximise their gain from his potential sale, I think as for Galatasaray's finances, and it's also possible they're confident in their ability to secure funding or sponsorship, or maybe from what I those tell I think they genuinely believe they can make big moves in the transfer window. And also stating the about rejecting bid from Gala shows they're serious about signing Oshimhem and we might see some interesting negotiation unfold.

It's quite frustrating what Napoli is doing to Galatasaray because it's just not fair if they already had his replacement in the team and now doing everything in their power to just hault Galatasaray from finalizing the deal because since the money they are asking for is big then they should try and consider so that the deal will be completed and he can go where he is valued and continue enjoying his football.

I completely agree with you that the owner of Napoli has a serious problem with Victor Osimhen, and they just want to frustrate Victor Osimhen by refusing to sell him to Galatasaray even though they fully know that if they fail to sell Victor Osimhen to another club this season, Victor Osimhen will leave Napoli as a free agent next season, and they won't make any money from Victor Osimhen.

Yes indeed it is one of the most stressful transfer news I have ever seen, they are not even giving the player a space to leave since they don't want him at the club but they still went ahead to include him on their list of players for their friendly games. I felt it would have been an easy passage for the player to leave the club but my question is why hasn't Osimhen reduce his was just to leave Napoli since they never want his growth? Clubs are coming to get him but what's chasing them off from getting the Nigeria striker is the wage, well if we check how he has been showing how good he has been I think he deserves any amount as his wage. It won't be bad  if he becomes the highest paid at any club.

The Victor Osimhen, and Napoli, issue is very worrisome, I've also don't think that I've seen a more stressful and dramatic transfer issues like this before. I think it's quite clear that Napoli, management or specifically it's owner wants to frustrate Osimhen's career, and it's very sad. There shouldn't be sentiments in business dealings, the perticipants needs to be fair and think win win for the parties involved so that everybody will be happy and profitable. Let us watch and see how the issue plays out but it'll be a shame if a potential player like Osimhen, is not in the spotlight.

I wonder: if Victor Osimhen was an Italian player, would the Napoli management treat him so cruelly? I sincerely doubt it because they would consider that the player would need to play for a good team so that the Italian national team could also benefit from it. They would accept the offer from Galatasaray or any other big European team. But since Victor Osimhen is an African player, they are not looking to save the player's career, they are just looking for the money. The saddest part is that they are even sabotaging negotiations so that the player goes to the Saudis, who can pay a lot of money immediately.

Galatasaray reject Napoli new conditions for Victor Osimhen deal, talks will continue… if conditions change again.

Napoli asked for €40m now plus €35m to be paid by 2026 plus sell-on clause.

Galatasaray want to pay €35m by 2027 and refuse to include sell-on clause.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1944887492580172162

I hope Victor Osimhen is lucky, he will need a lot of luck, because Napoli will do everything to sabotage these negotiations, because their objective is to make a lot of money at Victor Osimhen's expense, they want Victor Osimhen to play for the Saudis

[Spaceman1000$]

Galatasaray has taken another offer to Napoli and this time around they’ve taken the full amount needed by Napoli to release Victor Oshimen to them. In the most recent offer to them, they will be paying €40M as initial payment and make the remaining €35M payment in instalments. This time around I think Napoli’s president will accept this and allow Osimehn to play for Galatasaray and not be bind to Napoli henceforth. It was not really a great time for him at Napoli and the way they treated him was not nice at all for someone that helped them won the scudetto for the first time.

Players should be aware when writing their contract with professional teams especially Napoli because the manner they treat their players is very strange.

In my opinion, Napoli are only trying to frustrate the Nigerian international due to what transpired between the club President, De laurentiis and Victor Osimhen, it is obvious that whenever the Nigerian international comes close to finalising a deal with a potential club then Napoli would always look for ways to scuttle the whole plan, I wish all of these drama would come to an end soon so that victor Osimhen would get a good contract with a befitting club in Europe, perhaps a club that would be playing in the champions league, I would love to see him play in the UCL because that's where he belongs.

[SatoPrincess]

Victor Osimhen wants to play at the highest level of football for now; that's why he refused to move to the Saudi Arabian league. Manchester United have not made any formal approach to signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, and I believe if Manchester United meet Victor Osimhen's release clause, Victor Osimhen will gladly move to the Premier League and play for Manchester United because he will have the chance to play at the highest level of football.

What highest level of football does he want to play he has been playing in the top leagues in Europe he has played in the German bundesliga, French ligue 1 and the Italian seria A where he won the scudetto with napoli so I didn't see any football that is higher than these leagues I have mentioned the best option for him now is to move to the Saudi league and make the money if oshimen wants to play in the highest level then he will not be playing in a league like the turkey super league

Playing in Europe has been almost every player’s priority except for some who value the big pay more and decide to agree to a move outside if Europe but it seems Osimhen might remain with Galatasaray rather than join the Saudi Pro league. I think he wants to fight for recognition and titles at the biggest stage.

Nigeria women's football team could not win last match against Algeria women's football team and both team could not do any goal in this match and match was ended with draw result. The stats of Nigeria women's team was good because shots of that team were more in number and these were 24 and only 2 shots were on target. The possession percentage of that team was also good which was 55 percent but Algeria women's team possession was low in this match which was 45 percent and their shot was also less in number and these were 1 and no shot was on target. The passes of Nigeria women's team were more in this match and these were 377 and pass accuracy was 80 percent in last match but they were unlucky in this match and could not do any goal in this match.

[Felicity_Tide]

So playing for Galatasary is the new highest level?   Victor Osimhen simply wants a club in the champions league competition and the same time a club that can eventually handle his wages and salaries. Manchester United are not ready to match his wages. Negotiating a fee for his transfer wouldn't have been difficult for Manchester United to handle. They had talks and then a final talk saying he's swinging the turkish ways. Who should be the African best amongst them?! I'd say HAKIMI!! #THOUGHTS?!

Hakimi was more involved in major competitions, with a very good performance, and winning more trophies, so there is no debate about this one. He should be the next African footballer of the year, which is totally based on merits imo.

And as for Oshimen's transfer saga, well, every top players are not always lucky when it comes to getting a perfect club that suits their desire. Galatasaray is going to participate in the next Champions league, but the Turkish league isn't a tough as the premier league or the others. And the chances of Galatasaray going far isn't even guaranteed. Since Manchester united feel that they can't match his wages, then he(Oshimen) should better settle for Galatasaray, since they want him more.

But the only problem is, Majority of the top clubs across Europe are now looking for a striker, which means Oshimen's chances to play for any of these big sides in the future might not be possible. Getting a perfect club that offers all your desires these days isn't common.

Another Ex Super Eagles Player is on the deaf bed again. Former Super Eagles Defender Kadiri Ikhana is critically ill and hospitalized in Edo Teaching Hospital by  a retired Police Officer and the government is nothing about it. He played in the 1980 African Nations Cup and they Won the Cup. But after his retirement, he was neglected. And today he is on the dying bed. On aging he regrets of joining the Super Eagles Team because according to him it was time wasted. "He would have used the time to something else"

It's sad to see another football veteran suffering after serving his fatherland. Nigeria doesn't have a good welfare system for ex-football internationals, so it's not strange to see Kadiri Ikhana in this condition. I might be wrong, but I think Kadiri became a coach for different clubs in the Nigerian Premier League and even coached the Nigerian national team ( not the Super Eagles).

This is a lesson to other players that they should plan for the future. Having a health insurance policy and other financial covers are important because Nigeria is not getting better. This might be the reason why Nigerians prefer to naturalize in other countries.
