Osimhen requests more time from Galatasaray
Osimhen will cease to be a Galatasaray loan player from July 1, but the club are pushing to sign him permanently as he will leave Napoli this summer.
The Turkish champions have offered him a mouthwatering salary of €21 million, plus €5mil in bonuses, the highest offer from a European club, but he has yet to respond.
Osimhen turned down Al-Hilal's €45mil per season offer, which gave Galatasaray hope, but according to Ertan Suzgun, he has requested more time before deciding.
Napoli have ordered him to resume at the club’s facilities in Naples on July 14 for routine medical checks ahead of pre-season, unless he has found another club by that time.
Osimhen breaks Galatasaray's record
