Fabrizio Romano Says €55M-Rated Man Utd, PSG-Linked Attacker Nearing Galatasaray Stay | OneFootball

PSG had been monitoring Victor Osimhen for over a year. Nonetheless, this transfer saga appears to be ending with neither PSG nor Manchester United securing the Nigerian.

According to a previous report from GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United grew increasingly concerned about PSG’s pursuit. The French club was seen as the frontrunner to sign him.

The report stated that PSG was prepared to trigger Osimhen’s £63 million release clause. Moreover, they were also ready to meet his wage demands. Nonetheless, that never became the case.

Corriere dello Sport recently reported that Osimhen is keen to stay at Galatasaray. The Turkish club has gone all-in to keep him, putting a €16 million per year salary on the table—and the striker has now given his approval.

Now, it’s up to Galatasaray to strike a deal with Napoli, who are holding firm on his €75 million release clause and have no plans to lower the price.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported Monday that Galatasaray have submitted an opening offer of €50 million plus €5 million in add-ons for Osimhen, but Napoli want more.

Osimhen is open to a return to Galatasaray and has agreed to personal terms through June 2028, per Romano. The move now depends on negotiations between the two clubs.

Al Hilal remain in the race and are reportedly prepared to trigger Osimhen’s €75 million release clause, though they haven’t reached a personal agreement with the striker.

With Osimhen giving Galatasaray the green light, it’s now up to the clubs to reach a deal following the initial €55 million bid.
