Galatasaray is pulling out all the stops to secure the permanent transfer of Osimhen from Napoli, who has impressed with his performance.
Aiming to acquire the 25-year-old super striker's registration for 75 million euros in January, Galatasaray has decided to accelerate the process.
If the yellow-reds want to purchase Osimhen's rights, they must pay Napoli 75 million euros.
It has been claimed that the club has prepared a sponsor-backed payment plan to cover this high fee.
Most recently, Vatan Party Chairman Doğu Perinçek also announced that he is supporting the sponsorship coming from China.
FOOTBALL MANAGER PLAN FOR OSIMHEN
According to the claims, Galatasaray plans to pay Napoli 25 million euros upfront and spread the remaining amount over three years.
The offer may also include performance bonuses.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker has played a total of 645 minutes in 9 matches for Galatasaray, contributing 8 goals and 4 assists.
The Italians want to add 37.5 million euros to their coffers in January for half of Osimhen's transfer fee to present a positive report to UEFA regarding Financial Fair Play.
Napoli's stance on this matter is that the money should not be paid to the club in installments. Galatasaray, however, wants to pay this amount in installments with the support of sponsors.
OSIMHEN'S RELEASE CLAUSE
If the club becomes a co-owner of the player's registration in January as planned, a 100 million euro release clause will be added to Osimhen's contract.
If the star player is transferred at the end of the season, the 100 million euros will be split equally between Galatasaray and Napoli.
Thus, Galatasaray will have both benefited from Osimhen, whom they initially transferred on loan, for one season and added 12.5 million euros to their coffers.
