Although he had left to stay in Naples, Victor Osimhen will finally change his tunic.

Victor Osimhen will ultimately not experience the torture of an entire season spent in the cellar. On bad terms with his management at Naples, the Nigerian striker will indeed leave his Italian team for another club.

The former Lille player turned down a move to Chelsea and another to Saudi Arabia, but he ended up accepting a surprising destination. According to what Fabrice Hawkins, the journalist for RMC Sport, reports, he is ready to join Istanbul and the Galatasaray club.

Naples validates Osimhen’s departure

Given that he had no other options if he hoped to play football again, Osimhen said yes to the Turkish approach. And Napoli officials followed suit as well. The Italian press reports that Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of the Partenopei, has agreed to let his star player go on a one-season loan.

For Naples, the financial operation is not exactly brilliant. The club hoped to receive more than 100 million euros on the sale of its striker. Even if the sale is only postponed by a year, it is still a hard blow. On the other hand, for Antonio Conte, the coach of the first team, it is good news. The Italian technician did not want to work with the Nigerian international. He had already found a replacement for him, in the person of Romelu Lukaku.
