<p>According to a report from <a href="https://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/mercato/2025/07/14/diretta/calciomercato_notizie_oggi_osimhen_rios_napoli_roma-424729868/" target="_blank"><em>La Repubblica</em></a>, Galatasaray have formally submitted the required bank guarantees to Napoli in a bid to secure the €75 million (£63m/$82m) transfer of Osimhen. Talks between the two clubs resumed over the weekend, with the Turkish champions offering a package that includes €40m (£34m/$44m) upfront and the rest via instalments and add-ons. Napoli are currently reviewing the proposal and are expected to respond within hours.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Napoli had previously rejected Galatasaray’s earlier offers due to concerns over the payment structure. However, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/galatasaray-new-direct-talks-napoli-transfer-victor-osimhen-saga-drags-on/blt125a18ab9d8f80e1" target="_blank">Serie A side appears more receptive now</a> that bank guarantees have been delivered. Osimhen has already agreed to the move, with Galatasaray pushing to complete what would be a record-breaking deal for Turkish football. Napoli, for their part, are looking to reinvest the proceeds into a major squad overhaul this summer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>If completed, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/victor-osimhen-stalls-despite-galatasaray-agreeing-to-pay-eur75m-fee-to-napoli/bltfab4a8c0e1d64324" target="_self">the move would become the most expensive transfer</a> in Turkish football history by a massive margin - Orkun Kokcu became the most expensive Super Lig signing on Sunday when he joined Besiktas from Benfica for a reported €25m. Galatasaray have made Osimhen their top priority for the window after he scored 37 goals in 41 games for the club in the 2024-25 season during his loan spell.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Galatasaray are awaiting Napoli’s final response and are preparing documentation to complete the transfer. Further meetings are scheduled this week to align on payment schedules and legal terms. The club is aiming to finalise the deal before their pre-season tour begins, with Osimhen expected to join immediately upon completion.</p>
