Victor Osimhen is an announcement from officially being unveiled as a Galatasaray player, after quickly agreeing a deal with the Turkish Super Lig giants on Monday, which will save Napoli a significant sum for the 2024-25 season.
Osimhen receives a net salary of around €10m per season, although some outlets in Italy report the figure to be closer to €11m. Galatasaray are expected to cover the player’s wages in full for the duration of his season-long loan.
For Napoli, though, the savings on wages will amount to around €22m gross, which also includes performance-related bonuses and add-ons.
The intention for Napoli had been to cash in on Osimhen this summer, but a permanent move away from the club collapsed in spectacular fashion on deadline day.
According to Tuesday’s reports, Napoli still want to control the bargaining chips, and will look to extend Osimhen’s contract, which is currently set to expire in the summer of 2026.
The Partenopei would like to extend the deal at least until 2027, because the player will be into the final year of his contract next summer, which usually leads to a reduced fee when the club looks to move him on.
