Napoli have reportedly rejected offers from Galatasaray and Fenerbahce for Victor Osimhen.
The Nigeria international, who joined Galatasaray on loan last summer, has improved the team. He became one of the most sought-after players in Europe during the summer transfer window.
Osimhen’s goals during his debut season with Galatasaray helped the team win the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup.
According to Turkish media outlet Halktv as reported by CompleteSports, amid Galatasaray’s original bid of €60 million to sign the former Lille striker permanently, his outstanding performance has further prompted Napoli to demand a higher price.

However, Fenerbahce’s offer to sign Osimhen was also turned down by the Serie A team.
Despite Napoli’s “no bargaining” stance, Fenerbahçe tried to work out a deal with four installments, according to Barış Yurduseven of Turkish broadcaster TRT.
“Apart from the Turkish clubs, the only sides currently in talks are some Saudi teams and Manchester United,” he said. “But even they are hesitant about the financial outlay.”
The Nigerian talisman scored 36 goals and provided eight assists across all competitions for Okan Buruk’s side.
The 26-year-old’s return to Napoli won’t be for long as clubs are expected to table bids for him before the end of the 2025 summer transfer window.
