An announcement is expected soon, with a verbal agreement already in place between the Turkish giants and Napoli.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is structured as follows: \u20ac40 million will be paid immediately, \u20ac35 million is set to be paid in one year, \u20ac5 million in performance-based add-ons tied to goal contributions,<\/p>\n<p>A 10% sell-on clause on any future profit made from Osimhen\u2019s sale, And notably, a clause preventing a move to any Italian club for the next two years.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiations have progressed rapidly in recent days, with Galatasaray showing firm intent to make a statement signing as they prepare for their Champions League campaign. Osimhen, who scored 15 goals last season for Napoli, is said to be excited about the project in Istanbul and is open to the move after Napoli agreed terms.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old will bring elite European experience and firepower to Galatasaray\u2019s front line. His imminent arrival could reshape the Turkish Su\u0308per Lig and elevate Galatasaray\u2019s status on the continental stage. All signs now point to the deal being finalized in the coming days, barring any last-minute changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
