Galatasaray have set a €50m maximum limit to purchase Victor Osimhen in January according to Turkish website Sozcu, but the Nigeria international has a €75m clause.
Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, but the Turkish club does not have an option to make the transfer permanent.
When he joined Galatasaray on a temporary basis in September, his release clause was reduced to €75 million. However, Turkish media outlet Sozcu reports that Galatasaray cannot afford to meet that amount to secure the Napoli forward.
According to the report, club directors can reach €50m thanks to a sponsor. The plan is to sign Osimhen in the January transfer window to beat other suitors, such as Chelsea.
The Blues were in talks with Osimhen and Napoli in August but failed to complete the deal, so Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan after the end of the summer transfer window for the top European Leagues and the Saudi Pro League.
Osimhen recently reiterated that he would not leave Galatasaray before the end of the season.
Italian sources claimed that Osimhen’s clause for the January transfer window is €90m, although Galatasaray can get him for a lower fee.
